“I have to big up the Jude Belize foundation. I partnered with them and they helped me with being able to actually make it happen. My whole idea was these youths would get treated as the VIP that they really are, because they really are. So, I wanted to extend my privilege to them, things that I have access to them, you understand me.”
The evening began with a limousine ride around Belize City. Lova Boy and his entourage then made a stop at the Battlefield Park for a photo opportunity. They then grabbed a quick meal, before heading over to meet Belize City Mayor Bernard Wagner at an event that was being held in Buttonwood Bay Park.

“We had the full works, we had the goodie bags, the santa hat for them. First thing we did was pull up in the stretch limousine in front of ah Stella. Imagine that, we pull up in the stretch limousine. I have had a blessed career, I could not be more grateful. But that moment when we pull up in that stretch limousine and to see the look on these kids face. I feel like that will go down in history as a highlight of my entire career. Right away deh start sing “Tek it Down” and “Dash Out”. Deh just start sing right away and I said, ok you know the vibes. Now we pull up pan the mayor, the mayor invite we personally fih guh dah the holiday festival. You know how wicked that feel fih we and deh youths pop out from the limo and the mayor deh right deh the welcome we in. Of course, Councilor Deannie Requena, she was a big part of making this happen.”
Lova Boy says he and his son, Prince Jahmani, gave their evening to these children with the belief that every human, from all walks of life, has the same basic need for inclusion.

“I have been incarcerated, so I know that I have seen the toughest and toughest of guys, murderers cry, because deh want talk to deh ma, because they are not connected to other human beings, because they want to feel that connection, because you can’t be tough twenty-four seven. And, I have been with some of these kids, some of the most vulnerable in our society and guess what king all ah we want the same thing at the end of the day. So, if we would just understand that the most high build we wih own way but if we would just realize as a society we all have the same basic needs, nobody wants to feel isolated, everybody needs love, everybody needs to feel cared for, everybody wants somebody check pan deh. That is why that is so important. How you feel when somebody just buzz yo? Deh nuh give you a dalla, but just dah buzz. That could make a difference in your day.”
