What's that a Creole phrase uttered at the beginning of Rihanna's "Man Down" music video? thanks.

Yes, indeed, the first two words uttered "Sak Pase?" is Haitian Creole for "What's up?"The setting is definitely Caribbean, looks like Jamaica; but the language spoken was from Haiti and other Caribbean Islands.

Sak Pase? - What's up?
Ask me anything

    Actually it's St. Lucian patois and we West Indians, including Haiti are all one people from the same ship on the same trip.

    "Sak Pase?" comes from the Haitian Creole "Kisa Ki Pase?" Did you know that?
