THE outbreak of chikungunya virus (chik-V) has certainly been Jamaica's hot-button topic in recent weeks. And, 11-year-old deejay Wayne J has added his voice to the discourse.
His single, Chikungunya, has been doing the rounds. Produced by Ikation Records, the track was officially released on Sunday.
"I thank the disc jocks for playing it. It really makes me feel good," Wayne J told the Jamaica Observer.

A student of Pembroke High School in St Andrew, Wayne J (given name Wayne Smith Jr) said he hasn't heard the single yet.
"I've never heard it. People tell me about it," he said.
According to Wayne J, the song was written by his father and "with some input from me".
Ironically, he and his mother are recovering from the illness, while his father has fully recovered.
"I never knew I could have gotten it," said Wayne J, who lives in the Waterhouse community of St Andrew. He also knows that he can only get it once.
The Ministry of Health put the number of confirmed cases at 35. However, some estimate it in the thousands.
Chik-V is transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito and causes fever, joint paint and rashes. more
