Shaggy has suggested that listening to his music could stop the threat of terrorism, saying of ISIS: "If they're listening to Shaggy or reggae music, they're not going to want to cut somebody's head off."
The reggae musician, who gained fame in the '90s and early '00s with singles such as 'Boombastic', 'It Wasn't Me' and 'Angel', served with a firing battery from the 10 Marine Regiment during the Gulf War.
Speaking about the current threat of terrorism to the Miami New Times, he said, "If you're able to cut a man's head off, you're sick. But right, music evokes emotion, so if they're listening to Shaggy music or reggae music, they're not going to want to cut somebody's head off."

As NME reports, the singer added that there are "two things you want to do" when you listen to reggae - get somebody pregnant or get high. Apparently women don't listen to reggae then. "High people don't want to kill nothing; they want to love. They need to bag some Jamaican weed and distribute it amongst ISIS. I guarantee there won't be any more wars out there."
Shaggy's latest album, the collaboration-heavy Out Of Many, One Music, was released in 2013.
