However, he showed up on August 19 for his concert and threw an unrivalled party for the guests of the Balaton festival. Afterwards, he talked to index about why he learnt Hungarian words, his relationship with Bob Marley’s son, and how he would like to celebrate his 50th birthday.
The Jamaican rapper said Hungary always gives him a lot of energy. He said his water polo coach was Hungarian, so it was very special to him to sing for Hungarians. “I was trained by one of you, guys. It was awesome. I am always feeling good on the stage here”, he added about the experience.
Asked about his new song with Gwen Stefani, he praised the talent of the American singer. “I always loved her music … I approached her to do the song, and she loved it”, Sean Paul said.
The son of Bob Marley will also be on his new album. He said his younger brother and Damian Marley went to school with him, though they were five years younger. He grew up with a feeling that Bob Marley was his uncle, he said. “I feel special just to know him”, he added. “Damian and me have always had a relationship, making music sometimes”, Sean Paul said.
