His mentor may be behind bars but Portmore Empire deejay and breakthrough artiste, Popcaan seems willing to take on one of Vybz Kartel's biggest rivals with his new single, No Yes Man. Within the first two days of its release the song got over 200,000 views Youtube . The TJ Records-produced single hails as the newest release from Popcaan, regarded by many fans and Dancehall observers as the most improved artiste for 2011. No Yes Man follows up #1 efforts such as Raving, Only Man She Want and Clean that have made Popcaan an instant hit in the Dancehall industry; touting him as one of the future superstars within the genre. In No Yes Man, Popcaan showcases sharpshooting lyrical content; apparently taking shots at Aidonia, a long-time rival of Vybz Kartel and the Portmore Empire.
Popcaan deejays, "We nuh care who a bad people, Gaza mi live so mi a mad people, have di ting weh fi tun dem inna sad people, when mi seh Peppa Skull, mi no mean season." Additonally, Popcaan sings, "A boast bout boss and dads, move from endz to endz wid di jeans and plaid, cyaah tell mi yuh a bad people, dem fake like Trevor Off-Key dem wrong. "Popcaan re-affirmed his stance as a member of Vybz Kartel's Gaza crew by saying "Adi mi Daddy is so damn mad." Will Aidonia respond to Popcaan's alleged taunts? Time will tell. In the meantime, Popcaan is scheduled to perform at the upcoming STING 2011 stage show at Jamworld in Portmore, St. Catherine.

Dancehall artistes Black Ryno and Popcaan have been at odds since Ryno left the Portmore Empire camp and recorded the Gaza diss song Mi Lef in 2010. Popcaan counteracted the song with Dem Sell Wi Out and the two have been silent on the subject since. However, Ryno has recently recorded a song called Gaza Beating Stick, where he challenges Popcaan to a lyrical battle.

In the song, Ryno sings, 'When yu si mi yu run like three likkle pig ... how badman fi name Popcaan ... him a country man from him born, put yu pon a country bus, guh back dung a St Thomas fi guh back guh plant pak choi ... when yu si di clang and the click if yu think yu bad flip.'

The WEEKEND STAR contacted Black Ryno and according to the artiste Popcaan threw lyrical jabs at him in a recent song called Nuh Box Pon Jaw where he says, 'Badman nuh tek box pon jaw ... all now some bwoy sey dem bad and cyaah defeat wi doe ... mi have a thing wey mi walk wid, tek wey yu three points mek some bwoy haffi play zero.'
According to Ryno, he knows that Popcaan is dissing him because certain things happened in Gaza that Popcaan knows about. "When I heard the song, mi know sey a me him a talk because a whole heap a thing happen inna Gaza," he said. According to Ryno, he heard that people were looking forward to seeing a face-off at Sting and he was not ruling that out. "If a artiste a style mi, mi wi run een an deal wid it ... but mi jus a gwaan watch dem now," he said.
Ryno says he only answered the song to show that he was no weak fence, because Jamaicans would assume that he was a coward if he didn't. The artiste says that at Sting persons can expect the same Black Ryno and if it's war, then it's war. "Wi nuh tek long fi sic, suh if a war a war," he said. The WEEKEND STAR made several attempts to get a comment from Popcaan on the matter, but his phones went unanswered. However, sources close to the deejay said that he was busy at a video shoot. Black Ryno's song Gaza Beating Stick has not yet been officially released, and was was produced by Mark Myrie, the son of reggae/dancehall icon Buju Banton.

A week after the arrest of Gaza strong man Adidja 'Vybz Kartel' Palmer, rumours have already begun to surface in the music fraternity that the Gaza prefect 'Popcaan', has signed to Shocking Vibes. However, the dancehall artiste denies such allegations.

"I work with Young Vibes Records' Jamie Roberts, that is Patrick Robert's son, but my management remains the same with Portmore Empire," he said.  According to Popcaan, since the arrest of Vybz Kartel he has been conducting business through Patrick Roberts of Shocking Vibes, but it's not a contract agreement.  "Patrick Roberts naah manage mi, a mi fren dem but a nuh no management ting, a Gaza mi sey," he said.  The artiste says that Patrick Roberts will and can take phone calls on his behalf for bookings, but Gaza fans must not be quick to be judgmental.  "I want the people to know this, don't get it twisted, I am not managed by Shocking Vibes, yu know seh Teacha nuh deh a road, and business still haffi gwaan but mi nuh lef Gaza, those are just silly rumours," he said. 

According to Popcaan, his management and label remain the same despite the absence of Vybz Kartel.  "Memba a me sey Gaza forever and mi nuh have nuh further comment," he concluded. The Star tried to contact Patrick Roberts for comment but both of his cellphones rang without answer.
