The world would
see her again when in 2010, Phillips danced, twirled and eloquently spoke her
way to a first runner-up finish in the Miss Universe pageant. A role model for
many, young Jamaican girls, Phillips was not only stunningly beautiful, she was
educated. Phillips holds a bachelor’s degree in fine arts and a master’s degree
in recreation and leisure management. The beauty queen seemed to have it all
together and had it all she did – she was dating a handsome, track sprinter and former world record holder,
Jamaican Asafa Powell. Many thought of them as a match made in heaven.

Fast forward to
April 23, 2012, and the pageant darling announces she is 17 weeks pregnant by
posting a picture of her stomach on Facebook. A left hand, believed to be that
of the child’s father, gently touches the stomach. On his left, index finger is
a sparkly ring. Yendi’s left hand, placed over his, does not show a ring. Are
they married? Are they engaged? Are they not? Who is the father? Where is
Asafa? The picture, a shot of the stomach area, does not show their faces.

The father of
the child is said to be a popular reggae and dancehall artist named Daniel McGregor who goes
by the stage name Chino. He is the son of reggae legend Freddie McGregor.
Phillips
announced her pregnancy as the welcoming of “little McGregor.”

The news
quickly became a trending topic on twitter.
As fans
congratulated the former Miss Jamaica, it came as a shock to many who bravely
asked about her relationship with Asafa Powell.
One wrote on
Facebook, “Is this real? Should have been Asafas's
baby. Not a good match, Yen and Chino.”
“Asafa
and Yendi [broke up] about two years ago… Please STFU,” write’s another in
response to disappointed fans.
Others
are solely concerned about the little girls who look up to Yendi. Should she
have waited until marriage before getting pregnant? What message does this send
to her young admirers? Should she care? Then there are those who wonder, “Why a musician, and why that one?” Some of his hits include songs called Ruff it
up and She want it hard.
What
do you say?
Yendi and Asafa in happier times
how it hurt u suh, who she is with, u a asafa bredda???? asafa days done long time, why u dont guh ask asafa y him did a "buss blank". the woman is a grown ass lady an is responsible enough to make her own decisions, an it is obvious tht she and "chino" is happy.......
ReplyDeleteNo need to be an ignorant buffoon. "buss blanks"? Really? That's how you defend her? Obviously she made a better match with Asafa (they broke up, its life) simply because they were seen as more equal and he actually put forward an interest in marriage and a life long commitment to her. I have no idea what happened in their relationship as I know nothing about her and Chino. All her glory will now be overlooked because she "breed fi artist" or "a one a Chino baby mada dem". This OBVIOUSLY was an accidental pregnancy.
Delete"Yendi and Asafa in happier times" hmmmmmmm now Yendi and Daniel "Chino" McGregor in even happier times!!!!
