Who is Dancehall Artist Dexta Daps?

Jamaican Dancehall Artist Dexta Daps expected to hold a concert this weekend in New Providence and Grand Bahama, with more than 2000 concert goers.

But plans were squashed when the Ministry of Health and Wellness disapproved of the size and denied a request for the event, citing COVID-19 risks.

While many Bahamians are expressing anger over the cancellation, some Bahamians are puzzled and are asking, “Who is Dexta Daps?”

1. He is a 36-year-old, Jamaican native, living in New York City.
2. Dexta Daps was born Louis Grandison and is known for dancehall music and ballads.  He is known for his smooth vocals and provocative lyrics.
3. His hits include the ballad Morning Love, 7Eleven, Shabba Madda Pot and Breaking Point.
