Shaggy received the Jamaican Order of Distinction in the Rank of Commander yesterday on Jamaican National Heroes Day for his outstanding contribution to the music industry both locally in Jamaica and internationally. The award was presented at the Ceremony of Investiture and Presentation of National Honours and Awards that was held at the National Indoor Sports Centre, St. Andrew, Jamaica. Shaggy told the Jamaica Gleaner that for the first time in many years he was nervous and that it felt really good being recognized for what has been doing for so many years. Congratulations Shaggy!
