Dancehall fans have been speculating whether Cali P's latest single, Dem a Boss, is making a reference to Vybz Kartel aka the World Boss and his current financial struggles. The supercharged single has been bombing FM radio into submission over the last few days, and the lines below have provoked a lot of debate and counter-debates on Internet websites.
