<p>Sean Paul, 46, has been hot on the Latin
scene for some time.&nbsp; In an interview
with Billboard earlier in April, the Jamaican deejay said that he was looking
forward to other collaborations with Latin artistes.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He also said he was very appreciative of
the love shown to him by the Latino community, despite him having a not-so-strong
command of the Spanish language.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>“I do have Portuguese roots.  We just grew up in Jamaica in an English-speaking situation, so I don’t speak Spanish fluently you know, so to be accepted that’s a great feeling.   I’ve wanted to work with [J] Balvin an Tainy for a long time – that’s the producer on the track we did and so it’s a dream come true,” Sean Paul told Billboard at the time.</p>
