Sean Paul’s Wife Jodi Jinx Hilariously Shares How She Pulled Off Property Investment Without His Help

Jodi ‘Jinx’ Henriques, the wife of Dancehall superstar Sean Paul, has shared how she was able to recently purchase a cute two-bedroom apartment ‘uptown’ without any help from her ‘millionaire’ husband, and after a bank denied her mortgage application.

“Lets get this very straight. This is my apartment, I bought this apartment nobody can take this apartment from me, it is mine!” the former TV personality and carnival costume designer said in a recent YouTube upload.  “And that was very important to me that my husband wasn’t on my paperwork…I did have a point to prove that I can do this and I’ve been working hard and this is mine.”

Beaming with pride, Jinx disclosed how she was able to pull it off on her own.

“I’m really proud of myself. I’ve been a very good saver,” she said. “So even the littlest, smallest jobs that I’ll do, whether it’s making somebody a crown to making somebody a wire bra to some of my bigger jobs that I have done as an influencer or whatever it may be, I have always saved. I’ve saved my money, saved my money, saved my money.”

“I always knew that I wanted to get like a piece of property … Like I knew I wanted to buy an apartment or house so that I could, you know, make my money work for me. Like, I find an investment in properties is way better than having money in the bank,” she added.

The venture wasn’t easy for Henriques, who admitted that on paper, she looked like a “scamma” to the bank she approached for a mortgage.

“I started putting my money together, writing it out, you know me and the writing already and I put out how much I could make for the rest of the year, I put what I have, I put what would happen if I break my stocks, break my bonds, how much US I had, and you everybody has that ‘under the bed savings’ – take out every single dollar out of my ‘under the bed savings’ and I realized I needed a mortgage.”

“I went to a reputable bank here … the thing is that on paper, I look like a scammer,” the entrepreneur said. Nonetheless: “I applied for the mortgage.”

“So my mortgage was denied. The day I got the call that my mortgage was denied, I was out doing some work for Food For The Poor and I was giving out over 300 food parcels to families in need,” she revealed.

“And I said ‘God, I don’t understand’, I’m here trying to help so many people and I’m being stretched so thin because I’m always always trying to give, trying to give and I cant believe this is the news I got today. I was so thrown off … and I was like ‘I don’t know what more I can do’, like this was suppose to be for me.”

Though completely shattered, she said she refused to ask her husband for help. “There was absolutely no way that I could go with my tail between my legs and talk to my husband, no way!”

Going back to the drawing board, she looked at her upcoming work and “contracts” in the pipeline. There was also one more secret savings that she decided to kiss goodbye for the sake of this apartment.

“I said you know what, I’m going to find more money and I went into my BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) savings,” she regrettably added with a very straight face. “And I upped the amount I would put forward as cash for the apartment. So with no BBL, but an apartment! So now I had about 85% of the money, cash, but I still needed a mortgage.”

Thinking to herself, “Like honestly, mi could ah just call one a mi rich fren dem enuh, and beg dem a ting,” but instead asked her mom to take out the mortgage with her.

Jodi added that she would continue to prove her detractors wrong; in 3 years her mortgage will be paid in full and is set on proving to the bank that she is in fact ‘not a scamma.’

The newly minted landlady took her YouTube viewers through a detailed tour of her newly refurbished apartment, boasting her own handiwork in switching out the ceiling fans and replacing bathroom fixtures—though she hired a carpenter for the heavy lifting.

The unit is currently listed on the market by Valerie Levy And Associates.
