Following reports on the high rate of paternity fraud in Jamaica, there has been an increase in discussions surrounding the topic online.
Sharing his thoughts on the topic during a live stream, Khago said that his first child was actually not his biological son. The artiste, who apparently had his doubts due to the child’s complexion, said that it was his mother who persuaded him to claim the child.
“My fuss boy weh mi get a jacket. R*ss jacket. Di fuss pickney weh mi get a jacket and mi mada come look pan dis white r*ss pickney and seh, ‘Yes, dah finga yah look like mi son.’ Di pickney whiter dan Michael Manley, and mi mada meck mi own eh fuss r*ss jacket. A suh mi know seh mi mada neva have nuh love in a him heart fi mi,” Khago stated.
He went on to explain that it was not until three years later, after he had invested approximately $150,000 into raising the boy, that he was contacted by the biological father. Khago, who expressed delight in the revelation, said the man informed him that a DNA test had been conducted, proving the child’s paternity.
According to the Nah Sell Out deejay, the father paid him back the majority of what he spent on the child.
“An mi seh yuh willing fi turn ova back mi investment. Eh man seh ‘yes sah, come dung a Santa Cruz’… Eh man gi mi $140,000. Mi sell dat r*ss. $140,000 mi sell it fah. Yes, mi sell it and neva look back,” Khago said.
He further explained that the woman’s family did not like him, so he was happy to be free of them. The artiste added that the lack of apology from the child’s mother is what he finds most disrespectful.
“Eh biggest disrespect all now di baby mada nuh call mi one time and seh yuh know mi sorry. Shi meck a man call mi. Suh unuh nuh understand how wicked woman is.”
During the live stream, Khago also expressed that paternity fraud has become a business for some women. According to the deejay, once women have a child for the man they love, they proceed to have children with men for financial stability.
However, as these men may not have the desired physical features that they want to pass on to their children, they participate in “selective breeding.” Khago said that women intentionally cheat with more handsome men and then pass on the illegitimate child to other men.
As per Khago, females who carry out paternity fraud should be sentenced if found guilty because it’s a sin.
