Sean Paul was forced to pause an interview on Monday as his native Jamaica was hit with a 5.4 magnitude earthquake.
As reported by TMZ, the dancehall icon was speaking live on Twitch with artist Tofu Jack and director/producer of Vice Documentaries, Dan Zabludovsky, when the earthquake hit his building, prompting Paul to flee as Jack and Zabludovsky watched in horror.
Video published by TMZ caught Sean Paul telling the pair he was experiencing an earthquake, before he left the room as his camera shook, while Jack and Zabludovsky appeared confused, before the pair realized what was going on.
On Monday, a 5.4 magnitude earthquake hit Hope Bay in northeastern Jamaica, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. No deaths have been reported.
“Damage has been minor, but nevertheless, we are taking all precautions,” Prime Minister Andrew Holness said in a message posted on social media. “I want to say to all Jamaicans, remain calm.”
Holness added, "We implore citizens to remain calm and follow all the protocols regarding earthquakes and general safety."
