ENTERTAINER BIGGIE IRIE is a love man.
So much so, that he embodied it in one of his hits of the late 90s – Ten Tons of Love.
But that was not only just a chance to show off his sweet voice or score points with the ladies – he actually meant it.
And if there is one person who can say Biggie Irie gave him love when he needed it, it is Stefan Hope.
The circumstances surrounding their chance meeting were less than ideal, but the seasoned singer poured out the love anyway.
They met back in 2010, when Hope was taken to Biggie Irie’s home by police. The youngster had committed a string of burglaries in the singer’s neighbourhood and Biggie’s house was one that was hit, even though not in the typical sense of the word.
Biggie recalled being away for a gig in Canada when he got a call one Sunday morning from his girlfriend Keisha, who dropped by his house and noticed that the back door was open and the bathroom window was damaged.
It turned out that nothing was taken.
