Controversy
From shaving half of his head,  to then rocking blonde ponytail dreadlocks, a bleach skin and a ridiculous amount of tattoos, Gadawie has not been the type of artist to shy away from controversy.

In many such regards, Gadawie has feast his listeners ears with a taste of cunnilingus on his (2017) single “The things we do” and also in his (2021) EP, Masterpiece single, Nasty.

Both tracks vividly illustrate the act of performing oral sex on a female, which is arguably now becoming the norm in Jamaican culture.

Seemingly most dancehall Artist tends to avoid the taboos, Gadawie very much seems to embrace it all with theatrics and shock value as a form of his artistic persona.

Feud
In (2015) Gadawie tried working with a few producers in the industry which turned out to be problematic. In one such instance with a well known producer in dancehall who was to produce a song based off of monetary transactions.

Naive to the cut-throat nature of dancehall and its players, Gadawie was kept in limbo for a course of almost 3 years in regards to the making of that song, which ultimately lead to Gadawie creating two separate diss tracks Merda is the case and Powa Puff Girls, aiming at that said producer, resulting in the return of what was owed to Gadawie monetarily.

Personal Life
