Assassin

Star of the month Assassin says that he spent Father's Day in two countries.

The artiste, who was in Trinidad & Tobago over the weekend, was just in time to catch the last part of Father's Day in his native island, but says he was so tired he still missed the opportunity to see his daughter because he fell asleep.

"I was in Trinidad on Father's Day and by the time I got back to Jamaica I fell asleep, but my daughter had called me while I was in Trinidad to wish me happy Father's Day as well as to tell me about my Father's Day card that she made," he said.

The deejay, who is a proud father of one, also revealed that he has another child on the way. However, he is in no rush to get too many, saying "Three would be ok for me. The most I would go is like five."

According to the artiste, he wants all of his children to get the best education possible and the more children that you have is the least likely that such a goal would be achieved, because the resources would be exhausted.

Assassin said he grew up with his mother since he was two years old, however, he did not miss out on important lessons through constant interaction with his father. "Telephone wasn't as popular as now, so I use to visit my father on weekends," he recalled.

The artiste says that much of his approach towards fatherhood he developed through interaction with his father. "Because of my father, I became consciously and subconsciously aware of how, to conduct myself as a dad and as well as through observance," he told THE STAR.

The proud father also pointed out that even in instances where the parents are separated there is no excuse to neglect the child. According to the lyrical deejay, child rearing is not just about money, it has to do with more than that.

He also outlined that fathers should know that they are not doing their children a favour, but it's actually a responsibility that should be executed.
