Shaggy Says His Hit Song ‘It Wasn’t Me’ Is Not A Cheating Song

Shaggy Says Fans Have Misunderstood His Hit Song ‘It Wasn’t Me’ For A Cheating Song, It’s An Anti-Cheating Song

There is no questioning one of Shaggy’s most iconic and recognised songs is the 2000 hit ‘It Wasnt Me’ which many fans believed to be about cheating.

That is despite the fact Shaggy has been married to Rebecca Packer for close to ten years and share three daughters together.

The rapper was asked by People whether, as a result of the song, he finds many people assume he is a ‘player’.

He responded: “It was a big misconception with that song because that song is not a cheating song. It’s an anti-cheating song. It’s just that nobody listened to the record to the end.”

“There’s a part in the record where it’s a conversation between two people and you have one guy, which is me at that point, giving that bad advice, like, ‘Yo, bro, how could you get caught? Just tell her, ‘It wasn’t me’, and then at the end, the guy says, ‘I’m going to tell her that I’m sorry for the pain that I’ve caused.”

“‘I’ve been listening to your reasoning, it makes no sense at all. Going to tell her that I’m sorry for the pain that I’ve caused. You might think that you’re a player, but you’re completely lost’.”

Shaggy concluded: “Nobody hears that part! That’s what the song says.”
