Sean Paul and Love Island‘s Chelley sit down for a candid conversation in the latest episode of Billboard‘s Take Us Out video series.
The singer-rapper takes Chelley and Billboard out to Status Hollywood in Los Angeles, where the pair went course by course through a handful of delicious, Jamaican-infused dishes. While splitting some jerk mac-and-cheese spring rolls, the duo reflect on Sean Paul’s unbelievable legacy and spoke about his groundbreaking Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s “Get Busy,” “Temperature,” “Cheap Thrills” with Sia, and of course, “Baby Boy” with Beyoncé.
“I like to tell people I knew [‘Baby Boy’] was a sweet song because I was in my car parked under a mango tree in the back of my yard. A mango falls straight out of my tree and falls in my lap, straight through the window,” he shares, “I’m like, ‘Yeah, No. 1 straight, sweet song!’ And I never realized it would go No. 1 at the time, but I was like, ‘This is a No. 1.’”

The sit-down caps off a busy year for Sean Paul, who spent his summer touring the U.S. with DaBaby and Wiz Khalifa as part of the latter rapper’s Good Vibes Only Tour. The 15-date amphitheater run kicked off on July 6 in Darien Center, N.Y., before wrapping up in Atlanta on July 27. Musically, Sean Paul has been doing his thing as well. He returned with his latest single, “Ginger,” in July, and linked with numerous artists throughout the summer to keep it ablaze, including Moliy, Luude and Collie Buddz.
As for Chelley, she had an equally eventful summer. The Love Island star celebrated her 28th birthday with a lavish party in New York City in August. The evening kicked off at Barlume in Manhattan with a luxurious dinner. The entire Love Island crew also hit New York City in August to film the season seven reunion, which aired on Peacock on Aug. 25.
