In the world of Jamaican dancehall, few names shine as brightly as Elephant Man's. With a career spanning decades and a unique style that's impossible to ignore, Elephant Man, born O'Neil Bryan, has cemented his place in music history. But recently, it's not his music that's making headlines—it's his staggering number of children.
In a recent Instagram Live session with DJ and producer Noah Powa, Elephant Man dropped a bombshell: he's the proud father of 38 children. Yes, you read that right—38! And it doesn't stop there. Elephant Man revealed that he fathered his first child at the tender age of 17, setting him on a path to parenthood that shows no signs of slowing down.
"I have 38 pickney, start from mi a 17," Elephant Man proudly declared. "Mi might ugly and all of that, but the gyal dem like mi bandy legs."
But what's even more surprising than the sheer number of children is Elephant Man's nonchalant attitude towards the possibility of having even more. When asked if he's open to expanding his brood, Elephant Man responded with a resounding "yes," adding that he doesn't use condoms, so another child is always a possibility.
"You nah sex your woman inna nuh condom," he explained. "You ever go to your woman inna her house inna condom, yuh inna trouble."
While some may raise eyebrows at Elephant Man's unconventional approach to family planning, he's quick to assert that he takes care of all his children. Despite any disputes or challenges he may face with their mothers, Elephant Man emphasizes that he's committed to providing for his kids.
But beyond his personal life, Elephant Man's impact on the music world is undeniable. From his early days as a member of the Scare Dem Crew to his solo career as a dancehall icon, Elephant Man has left an indelible mark on the industry. His trademark style, characterized by his dyed hair, distinctive voice, and electrifying stage presence, has earned him international recognition and acclaim.
Despite legal controversies and criticism for his lyrics, Elephant Man remains a force to be reckoned with in the world of dancehall. And now, with news of his expansive family making headlines around the globe, it's clear that Elephant Man's legacy extends far beyond the realm of music.
As he continues to captivate audiences with his infectious energy and undeniable talent, Elephant Man proves that he's more than just a dancehall legend—he's a father, a trailblazer, and an icon in his own right. And with 38 children and counting, it seems there's no limit to what Elephant Man can achieve.
