Nicho),” her breakthrough anthem “So Mi Like It” which has racked up nearly 100 million video views and her latest smash single “Go Down Deh (feat. Shaggy & Sean Paul).” The latter topped worldwide reggae charts while the official music video has amassed over 21 million YouTube views, making history as the first dancehall video to continue trending on the platform for five weeks straight.
