Martelly’s song was the talk of social media and Haiti’s call-in radio shows on Monday. Martelly’s choice to be Haiti’s next president, Jovenel Moïse, is nicknamed “Neg Bannann” – Banana Man in Haitian Creole. The president could not be contacted to talk about his intentions. Martelly and backing vocalists repeatedly sing suggestive lyrics while referring to bananas and well-known radio reporter and human rights advocate Liliane Pierre-Paul. The song is credited to Sweet Micky, the stage name he used as a pop star before being elected. In an unusual move by a sitting leader, President Michel Martelly released during what is likely his last week in office a track called Bal Bannann Nan - Haitian Creole for “Give Them the Banana”.
