Legendary Jamaican rapper and pop star Sean Paul, who has delivered numerous hits and will certainly go down as one of the greatest dancehall artists of all time, has been in the music industry since 2000, when he released his debut album Stage One.
Over the years, he has released some of the most memorable hits such as Get Busy, Temperature, She Doesn't Mind to name a few, while he has also featured in many other singles such as Beyonce's Baby Boy, Clean Bandit's Rockabye, Enrique Iglesias' Bailando (English Version), and Sia's Cheap Thrills.

Sean Paul's unique connection with former Windies batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul
If you have heard a Sean Paul song, you will hear him sing 'Sean da Paul' towards the opening sequences.
Now, though, the 50-year-old rapper has revealed that he actually doesn't say 'Sean da Paul,' but rather pays tribute to the legendary West Indies cricketer Shivnarine Chanderpaul, who has scored the second-most Test runs by any West Indies player in history.
In a video by VICE titled The Story of 'Get Busy' by Sean Paul, the Kingston-born reggae artist, said:
There is a famous cricketer in Trinidad [Guyana], Shivnarine Chanderpaul. Everyone was like ‘Sean da Paul’, and that name stuck. And then I just started to say it in shows and met the dude Chanderpaul years later, and he’s like ‘Yo!’ But yeah, big up to Shivnarine Chanderpaul.
Their names sound similar, so he started using the name consistently throughout much of his music career.
Recently, Paul received his second nomination for Favorite Crossover Artist at the 2023 Latin American Music Awards.
