An Australian reggae performer who has performed a reggae song referring to "burning the chi-chi man" has declined to sing the song in Sydney, instead recording a youtube video in which he says he has nothing against gay people. The video is at youtube:

He also wrote the following on the youtube page where the song appears:
Greetings in the name of Jah Rastafari, I would like to make myself clear; in this new video clip, at the end of the video I sing burn down (Chi Chi Man) and what I mean is to burn down all the bad people,(child molesters, gangsters, rapist, peopl who destroy the life of another), please everyone am sorry if what you understand was wrong, but I have nothing against same sex, please don't get me wrong. I believe that everyone is equal. One love. King B-Fine.
Combined with the recent recording "Rights" by Mistah Maja P, this is real grounds for optimism that reggae is wisely climbing out of the cesspit of murder music.
