LORDE should probably stay away from Jamaica.

The 17-year-old Kiwi singer seems to have irritated the Caribbean nation with a comment she made about Reggae music last month, The Concourse reports.

“I hate Reggae, Reggae makes me feel like I am late for something,” Lorde wrote on her blog.

Keisha, a gossip columnist at The Jamaica Star, wasn’t going to stand for that nonsense. She wrote this short opinion piece tearing into the young musician. The rant was spotted by arts journalist Joe Muggs, who posted it on Twitter.

“International artiste Lorde say she hate reggae music. Everybody nuh haffi like everything but HATE is a very strong word,” Keisha wrote.

Reasonable enough.

“Lorde, you always look like Smeagol from Lord of the Rings. You always look like you a have seizure when you deh pon stage a try move you crawny body,” she continued.

OK, that’s a little harsher.

“If you need fi HATE anything, you need fi HATE you age paper. A nuh our fault say you a 17 and look like 3 million. A nuh our fault say you caan sing live. Gwaan from ya Miss One Hit Wonder.”

Ouch. For the record, we don’t think Lorde looks like Smeagol, nor do we think she looks three million years old.

In fact, since she’s only a teenager, it’s probably fair to say that Lorde still has a lot to learn about life. One of those things is that you should never, ever insult Reggae music.
