Christopher Martin Shines at New York’s UBS Arena
The reggae singer brought both showmanship and fan favorites to Beenie Man’s 'King of the Dancehall' concert over the weekend.
Christopher Martin delivered an impressive set at UBS Arena on Saturday night, May 24, putting on a standout performance as part of Beenie Man’s King of the Dancehall concert. Presented by Jammins Events, the Memorial Weekend event also featured Shuga, Kevin Lyttle, Louie Culture, Shane O, and more.
Martin’s set included fan favorites like “Cheater’s Prayer” and “Paper Loving,” before introducing his latest single “Wife and Sweetheart,” which explores a man’s desire to maintain harmony between his romantic partners.

In a surprise moment, Martin was joined onstage by Shuga, who responded with her own song “What If,” flipping the narrative to ask what it would mean for a woman to do the same—with a husband and a sideman. The crowd responded with a thunderous forward, the arena filling with cheers and laughter as the two entertainers played off each other in real time.
Beenie Man closed the night with a full set, marking a triumphant return to a New York stage after over a decade.
“Wife and Sweetheart” will be released on all streaming platforms this Friday, May 30.
