MR Boombastic Shaggy believes his music can defeat ISIS and stop war around the globe.

The It Wasn’t Me hit maker said playing reggae music to ISIS fighters will make them either want to get busy in the bedroom or get stoned and thus stop killing people.

“If you’re able to cut a man’s head off, you’re sick,” Shaggy told the Miami New Times. “But, music evokes emotion. So if they’re listening to Shaggy music or reggae music, they’re not going to want to cut somebody’s head off.

“There’re two things you want to do when you listen to reggae: You get somebody pregnant, or you’re f---ing high. High people don’t want to kill nothing; they want to love. They need to bag some Jamaican weed and distribute it amongst ISIS. I guarantee there won’t be any more wars out there ... And throw some Bob Marley up in there and there’ll be peace.”

Shaggy’s plan comes as he promotes a new single called Go F--- Yourself, which will not be on the Smooth FM playlist any time soon.

Shaggy’s hits include It Wasn’t Me, Oh Carolina and Angel; he completed a successful tour of Australia in May.
