Jamaicans have been known to embrace American pop and R&B acts of all levels of fame as long as they meet certain standards of quality, but only rappers of larger than life stature (circa ‘98 DMX, Rick Ross) have ever been able to draw in JA, regardless of talent. Nicki was only a year into her career when she was tapped as a headliner on Sumfest’s International Night in 2011, but there was no way she was going to fail. She owned the crowd from jump (picking up a summons for cursing in the process), ensuring that whenever she next decides to make her way to JA, the demand will be that much greater.—Jesse Serwer
