The examiner.com has uncovered a story where Grammy Award-winning artiste Sean Paul has slammed critics for not supporting his efforts.

The story broke on Saturday, just days after Sean Paul celebrated his 39th birthday at The Fiction Lounge's Brand New Machine, held every Wednesday at the trendy nightspot.

According to the website, Sean Paul had long been "criticised by Jamaican music fans for not putting out 'authentic' Dancehall songs since unveiling his Dutty Rock in 2002". Sean Paul made his name internationally by doing mostly songs which fuse hardcore dancehall and hip hop. The artiste has stuck with the winning formula, recently releasing Got 2 Luv U featuring American singer, Alexis Jordan. Sean Paul also used his birthday celebration to promote his latest effort, Tomahawk Technique, but the criticisms of his crossover style have still been resounding.

In response, the We Be Burning deejay took to official Twitter account to sharply address said critics; suggesting the work he does should be appreciated more by Jamaicans.

"RRR! ALL JAMAICANS WEH NO LIKE NOR RATE MI OR MY MUSIC [expletives]!!! A ME A REPRESENT U! RRR!!!" he tweeted. According to examiner.com, it did not take long for fans to call out the deejay on his comments. Sean Paul would then go on to clarify the statement, though his defensive stance was still apparent.

"IF MI SEH IT AN U FEEL OFFENDED DEN DAT MEAN MI CATCH U! IF U RATE MI U WI DIFFEN MI CAH MI NAH CHAT2 U!BUT NOW MI KNO U NO WIT MI," he said.

"BLESSINGS SAME WAY!!!BEEN FLYING THE FLAG 4 JACANS 2 B TREATED AS EQUALS!!! SO WHEN A 1 DOE RATE DAT IT MEK I WANDA WHY MI A DWEET," he is said to have tweeted.

Here in Jamaica, Sean Paul is also promoting his efforts as a producer, with The Material rhythm which features several top names such as Voicemail, Raine Seville and Mr Vegas among others.
