  • Rising Jamaican dancehall artist Robbyn Goode has faced online speculation about her close friendship with veteran performer Future Fambo.
  • Goode denies a romantic relationship and says Fambo has supported her career as a friend, financier and mentor.
  • Her new single, “Mic Check,” grew out of a failed relationship and marks a sharper, more confrontational musical direction.

Robbyn Goode would rather let her microphone answer the rumors surrounding her friendship with Future Fambo. The rising dancehall singer has become a regular subject on entertainment blogs and Instagram pages after a series of affectionate-looking photographs with the veteran artist.

We’re just friends.

· Robbyn GoodeGoode denied that her friendship with Future Fambo was romantic.

One image, captioned “Beauty and the Beast,” sent social media speculation into overdrive. More photographs of the pair at events and restaurants around the Corporate Area added to the gossip. Goode, however, has offered a straightforward answer: “We’re just friends.”

“I have been hanging out with Fambo for months now. We’re really good friends, but I see a lot of hate and speculation online since he has taken over TikTok,” she said. “I don’t pay the haters any mind. My music speaks for itself.”

· Robbyn GoodeShe addressed the online rumors surrounding their relationship.

What she does acknowledge is Fambo’s role in her early career. She describes him as a friend, financier and mentor who has helped her navigate Jamaica’s music industry independently, without the resources of a major label. “He has really given me some great advice and mentorship,” she said.

I don’t pay the haters any mind. My music speaks for itself.

· Robbyn GoodeGoode said she intends to focus on her music rather than social media criticism.

Goode’s latest single, “Mic Check,” now offers a chance to move the conversation back to music. She has not yet performed it officially and is waiting to see how a live audience responds. The track nearly took a different shape: she arrived at the studio with another song, but producer Blue rejected it as too “pretty” and unlikely to connect with listeners. Goode then drew on the anger and disappointment of a failed relationship to create a fiery warning rather than a tender goodbye. Her biggest release so far, “Irie Love,” featured reggae artist Anthony B and was produced by Buggie.

He has really given me some great advice and mentorship.

· Robbyn GoodeShe described Future Fambo’s support for her developing career.
