Cobra is a fish! - Merciless

Responding to derogatory comments made by Cobra in a publication last week, Merciless launched a verbal broadside on the Helter Skelter deejay, calling him a 'fish', a colloquial reference to a homosexual while challenging him to a lyrical face-off.

“Him ah talk about mi fi carry sound box, the only box mi ah go carry ah him funeral box when mi kill him lyrically.”

He said that he was disappointed that Cobra had not done more to remain relevant in the music while he was overseas.

“Mi respect Cobra and tink say him did ah go hold up the ting while I was away. But where is Cobra? Mi nah hear him from wah day ya, it one sided, I thought he was a snake, but mi throw out mi line and him tek the bait, so him is a fish…is a miracle, the snake turn inna fish and pick the bait,” the deejay known for the hits, Sting History, Mama Cooking and Gal Dem Gizzada, told one876entertainment this week.

He also counteracted Cobra’s jibe that he needed to enter the popular Digicel Rising Stars show.

“Forever, I will be a rising star, his stars are falling, he needs to perform at Heineken Startime. I am always and always will be a rising star inna this business. Mi never have no beef with Cobra, if him waan beef, him need fi go to a meat shop. While mi ah take care of my kids, him ah wipe down horse a track.”

Cobra is a grizzled veteran of several sound clashes, and is known for demolishing Buju Banton and 'killing' Ninjaman twice during his glory days of clashing. Cobra has sold platinum twice with the songs Flex and the Make Me Higher remix with Toni Braxton. Merciless ‘slew’ Bounty Killer, Beenie Man, and Ninjaman in a memorable Sting clash in the year 2000 where his phrase, ‘bad man nuh tek bad up’ became a popular catchphrase among teens. However, the following year, the tables were turned on him and he was ‘bottled’ in a half-hearted clash that came to a premature end. Merciless got back some amount of revenge when he ambushed Bounty at Miami Sting 2004 and demolished him with a lyric that poked fun at the appearance of a naked man in Bounty Killer’s ‘Hey Baby’video. The lines went like this: ‘yu shoulda tell the man fi keep on him trousers/why yu neva tek off Stefani blouses/Instead yu mek man ah buy yu roses’.
