Wow, there is no limitations when you are blind. Frankie Paul is proving that when it comes to the fairer sex...what's the big deal if you are blind...check out this story in Chat!
Singer Frankie Paul says he has not one, but four wives pending in the West African state of Gambia, where he has been living for he past 11 years. This, however, represent a few steps down from the seven he was quoted as having on hold five years ago.
A state which is 95 per cent Muslim, the singer says he was converted to that religion in 2001 and it is that which allows him to exercise the option of choosing multiple legal partners.
I can marry several times and they will all be legal, he told Chat! in an interview recently backstage Riche Stephens Take Me Away concert on which he did a cameo. He added, however, that he was not yet ready to marry any (or all) of the wives as there were certain things he needed to put in place first.
In the meantime, the artiste, who describes himself as a sort of government minister for one of the provinces, has adopted nine children for whom he is totally responsible. I have adopted seven boys and two girls ranging in ages from 13 to 18, he said with pride.
The blind singer, who enjoys a good relationship with the Gambian president, Yahya Jammeh, is the musical director on call and is looking forward to again performing for the president on his May 25 birthday bash.
Every year there is a huge celebration for the presidents birthday and I always perform for him. Hes a wonderful person and the country is so peaceful when compared to Jamaicaand the economy is fine, Frankie Paul explained. He recently released an album on the VP Records imprint, Think Say Dem Know Me. The songs, he says, were recorded in London.
