Feliciti
Probable
Feliciti is a Jamaican video vixen from Kingston's Maxfield community who built a following in dancehall music videos before releasing her own singles, including 'Pon It' on the Chakka riddim, as she rebrands toward a recording career. In a 2025 Jamaica Star profile she described becoming more selective with her video bookings as she made that transition, treating the video-vixen work as a deliberate first chapter rather than an endpoint.

Video vixen culture in dancehall: creative opportunity and visibility or exploitation and typecasting?
Jamaican video vixens and the trade press covering them have documented two neutral positions on the role. Some, including performers who have parlayed video work into recording careers, frame it as a legitimate craft and entry point offering visibility, income and a degree of choice over which bookings to accept. Others point to the absence of standard contracts, inconsistent pay, and a lingering 'eye candy' typecasting inherited from the wider video-vixen phenomenon that first took shape in US hip-hop. Neutral framing; no verdict. Sources: Jamaica Star; DancehallMag; Wikipedia entry on the video vixen phenomenon.
