Don't be ignorant. I'm Jamaican born and do not speak with a Jamaican accent. I left Jamaica at 12 and was raised from 12 on in the U.S. then Canada. If you know anything of Jamaicans, you would know that at least 50% of the Jamaican pop lives outside of Jamaica. Ex. Shaggy speaks with an American accent but was born Kingston Ja. Heavy D born in Ja but speaks with an American accent. Where you are raised as a child determines how you sound. In the U K most Jamaicans sound like Brits
