In an interview with MTVIggy, the self-professed “Dancehall Hero” spoke more in detail of what he was looking for with this reality show & why he came up with the name, “Teacher’s Pet.” Kartel intimated, “That’s another first for a dancehall artist — just like the satellite is a first, owning the rum, owning the club, this is going to be another first. It’s a crazy reality show with 20 females from around the world vying for Vybz Kartel’s heart, wherever that is.” Kartel added that, “It’s going to be called Teacher’s Pet. Because my moniker is, “Di Teacha.” I’m looking for the Teacher’s Pet!”
Perhaps the more eye-raising statement from the self-proclaimed “Worl’ Boss” was his sentiment that he is looking to settle down and find a wife. “Umm, I’m really looking to settle down and find a wife,” Kartel said whilst adding, “And if it was for entertainment, I would still say I’m really looking to settle down and find a wife,” he said while chuckling.
Kartel has previously been married; tying the knot with former long-time lover & American citizen, Stacy-Ann Elliott in a private ceremony at the Registrar General Department branch office in Kingston in December 2005. The two settled a divorce in 2008; in part due to distance issues. Kartel claimed that Elliott never visited him during their marriage after the fact that U.S visa was revoked shortly after the wedding.
