early a year ago, congratulations were
pouring for dancehall couple Ishawna
and Foota Hype, who got engaged last April during a
party at O’Neil’s Place in Kingston,
but now the singer says their relationship has ended.
Ishawna and Foota Hype split |
Ishawna
herself confirmed the news on Friday, telling the Jamaica STAR they were no longer an item, though she did not
confirm the reason behind the break-up.
"It's done, I am just doing
me," she said
"We have to deal with each other
regardless 'cause we work together. There is no bad vibe or anything, but
because of personal issues, we call it quits. Sometimes, that's just how it is
in life, nobody knows the answer."

Ishawna
and Foota
Hype started dating in 2005 and have been
working alongside each other since the beginning, with Ishawna recording
several songs for Foota Hype’s music label, Foota Hype Music.
Despite the split, both musicians have
remained amicable and are nevertheless still working together since they are
signed to Downsound Records. The couple also shares a son.
"We still have to work together
because we are still signed to Downsound Records,” she said. “No animosity or
anything, we had such a public relationship, so we have to let the people know
that we are no longer attached in that way. I am not gonna say I hate him
'cause I don't. It's not working right now, and I just want to focus on my
career.”
“It's just one of those things,” she
continued. “I don't know what the future holds. At this moment, we both understand
that this is not working. At the end of the day, I still have love for him.”
The two have been together since 2005 and
have been working alongside each other since the beginning, with Ishawna recording
several songs for Foota Hype’s music
label, Foota
Hype Music.
This break-up news comes nearly a month
following reports that Dancehall star, Daniel ‘Chino’ McGregor and former Miss Jamaica Universe, Yendi Phillipps
broke up, though neither party has confirmed or denied said report since it
came out on February 14th.
