BARBADIAN DJ PUFFY is the new Red Bull Thre3Style 2016 World Deejay Champion.
In doing so, he became the first DJ from the Caribbean to hold the world title. The finals were held earlier tonight in Santiago, Chile.
The wildcard entry defied all the odds, beating Canada’s DJ Trapment and Beast Mode of Australia. You-Ki of Japan did not place.
Once again, Puffy had the crowd chanting his name
With dubplates from soca artistes Rupee and King Bubba, Puffy scratched and mixed his way to the top.
He reworked Rihanna to sound like a chipmunk, mixed in genres from hip hop to Latin, and walked off the stage to a speech by Donald Trump.
Social media was heavily engaged on the RedBull site as not only the Caribbean was throwing support behind Puffy, but people from as far away as Kenya wished him good luck.
In typical “Bajan style” he was late on stage for the announcement, prompting hilarious comments from those in the chat about Barbadians and time.
The new champion fell to the floor in disbelief as confetti rained down.
He later thanked the audience, fellow competitors, organisers and sponsors before giving a big shout to Barbados. (SAT/NS)
