Shenseea Says She Was “Taken Advantage Of” Early in Her Career — Fans Speculate About Former Team

Shenseea, who began her musical journey in church before being discovered by Romeich Major, rose rapidly under his management, releasing chart-topping hits and gaining global attention. She later signed with Rich Immigrants/Interscope Records, which many believed was her big leap into the international market.

However, after officially parting ways with the label in November 2024, Shenseea declared her independence — both in business and creative control. While she’s enjoying the freedom, she also acknowledged the challenges of managing her own career.

“Being independent is not easy... but I won’t be independent for long,” she told fans.

Cryptic Confession Raises Questions

The most eyebrow-raising moment came when Shenseea admitted she had been "taken advantage of" earlier in her career. Though she didn’t name anyone, fans and vloggers were quick to draw conclusions.

Controversial YouTube personality KingMixup referenced earlier allegations from Spice, who previously accused Romeich Major of financially exploiting Shenseea and sabotaging her professional relationships. Spice had also claimed that Romeich was responsible for the breakdown in her friendship with Shenseea — once a seemingly united front of women in dancehall.

A Pattern of Accusations?

This isn’t the first time Romeich Major has been placed in the hot seat. Veteran dancehall artist Tifa also accused him of blocking her career and prioritizing his own interests over the success of others.

While none of these allegations have been legally confirmed, Shenseea’s latest comments have added fresh fuel to the fire — with fans calling for transparency and accountability behind the scenes in Jamaican music.

Our Opinion

Shenseea’s revelation shines a spotlight on a recurring issue in the entertainment industry: young talent being exploited while chasing their dreams. Whether financial, emotional, or contractual, being taken advantage of is unfortunately common, especially when artists are just starting out. Her courage to speak up — even vaguely — is a signal that the industry needs stronger structures, transparency, and ethical leadership to protect artists at all levels. Shenseea may not be pointing fingers yet, but her voice is loud enough to start a necessary conversation.
