The Cup Match Summer Splash concert was held, featuring a number of musical artists, including the group Major Lazer, who had one of their members cause a social media outcry by posting unflattering comments about Bermuda.
Major Lazer’s Jillionaire posted on social media that Bermuda “smells like a dead whale” and also claimed that the taxi driver “kidnapped him,” resulting in strong reaction from Bermudians, who took to his social media profiles to express their displeasure.
The comments were made just a few hours before the show, and it appeared many people present were not aware of his comments, and the show went off quite smoothly.
