Majah Hype to Dale Elliot: “You Could Never Take My Spot” — Says Not Even Oliver Samuels Makes Him Shake

Caribbean comedian Majah Hype went live recently to address what he described as “shade” being thrown his way by fellow comedians — including rising star Dale Elliot, who recently signed a global touring deal with Live Nation.

“I’ve been doing this comedy thing going on 14 years now,” Majah Hype said on the livestream. “I’ve been doing it for about 15 years on social media — 14 years online and about ten, eleven years of stand-up, actually being on stage and all of that. When me just come around and start do comedy, me never see none a dem youth yah weh a do comedy now. But me always for embracing the younger generation and new people inna di business.”

Still, Hype, born Nigel Joseph, made it clear he doesn’t fear any veteran Caribbean comedian or newcomer.

“There is no comedian out there that could intimidate me with their talent, because I’m talented,” he said, adding a Jamaican expletive. “I’m super talented. I can share a stage with any boy, any girl, any dog, any puss, because when I go up there, I’m going to f*** up the place. I’ve done it numerous times.”

Hype, who was born in Jamaica before migrating to the US then addressed ‘Son Of A Immigrant’ comedian Dale Elliot, saying he had heard from sources that Elliot wanted his spot in the industry.

“West tell me say, ‘That guy don’t have nothing good to say about you. The man say him come fi your spot,’” Hype claimed. “My spot? Brother, you could have never take my spot. You coulda never in a million years take my spot.”

According to Hype, the issue stems from what he describes as repeated name-calling behind his back.

“Everywhere I go, somebody always tell me this man calling up my name, and I don’t know why,” he said. “I don’t have no issue with this bredda yah. I never do no work with him. I met him a couple of times. One time I was at Atlanta Comedy Theater, going to check Michael Blackson. Him deh deh because him go wid Wes, and Wes a introduce him to Michael Blackson. The whole time we do a video, the man edit me out and make it look like a just him and Michael Blackson alone. Brother, I don’t have no problem because I don’t need to be on your page.”

Hype continued, defending his legacy and impact on Caribbean comedy:

“Unuh cyaan tek weh di work weh me do. Unuh cyaan rub me outta history, because unuh come yah come see. So when you go ‘round di place and call up my name… try know say me nah call fi yours.”

Hype also took broader aim at other comedians from Jamaica:

“There is no Dale, no White Yardie, no Christopher Daley, no Dufton Shepherd — none a dem can intimidate me. Not even Oliver [Samuels], and Oliver a di boss. No man don’t make me shake inna me boots when me go pon stage. When me go pon stage, the stage is mine.”

Recently Hype and Samuels were honored by the City Of Lauderhill Florida and Sameuls, who has been hailed as the King Of Caribbean Comedy more than fur decades due to his Oliver At Large TV show had kind words for the online sensation saying he always wanted to meet him.

Despite the fiery tone in the live, like stating: “one of the reasons why you see me always a do the video them by miself is became me nuh really like people inuh,”Hype insisted he’s not throwing shade — just setting the record straight.

“Me no business. Me nah throw shade to none a dem. But it seem like shade always being thrown my way, and me don’t really give a f*** about that, to be honest. Me know me original.”

Majah Hype, known for his impersonation of Caribbean characters in skits online and blending regional accents, also mentioned in his rant that longevity speaks louder than hype:

“At the end of the day, me know my value, me know my worth, and me know what me can do.”

At press time, Dale Elliot, Oliver Samuels or the others mentioned had not publicly responded to Majah Hype’s statements.
