Queenie Says Her Fiancé Was Supposed To Be A One Night Stand

Popular talking points when it comes to Jamaican entertainer Queenie and her fiancé Dowey are their sudden engagement, age gap, and the British resident card. But the public was not aware of how their 2020 romance started until they shared it last night during OnStage.

Queenie said he was a regular fan who caught her attention when he said he had a june plum tree. Though she wanted mangoes, the artiste accepted the free-fruit offer from her supporter, which she collected by the tree as he picked it.

“Him peel di june plum outside under the tree cause his house deh right in front the tree,” she recalled. “Di mosquito dem a bite mi out there so when mi done eat the june plum him seh to me seh, ‘Queenie mi can invite yuh inna mi house enuh’. Mi seh, ‘Mi never know mi invited’ – memba a june plum mi go deh fah.”

She entered his abode and made herself comfortable on his bed, and call it cliché, but he put some music on. The mood-setter? Her breakout single Double Tap .
