Jamaican dancehall star Chinsea Linda Lee, popularly known as Shenseea, has sparked widespread debate after declaring on X (formerly Twitter) that she does not believe in divorce.
“I do not believe in divorce. We must learn to fall in love again,” she posted, words that have ignited both admiration and criticism across social media.
Shenseea, who rose to international fame through collaborations with artists like Vybz Kartel, Tyga, and Kanye West, shared her conviction that married couples should seek reconciliation rather than separation, even during difficult times.
While some users accused her of contradicting herself, citing that she is a single mother not living with her child’s father, others praised her for promoting a message of hope and perseverance in relationships. Some critics, however, warned that such views might encourage women to remain in abusive marriages.
A Surprising Harmony with Scripture
Despite the backlash, Shenseea’s statement aligns closely with Biblical teachings. In Malachi 2:16, the Bible clearly states, “For I hate divorce,” says the Lord, the God of Israel. Jesus also taught in Matthew 19:6, “Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
These verses, like Shenseea’s message, promote restoration and healing in marriage rather than legal separation. Her belief in "falling in love again" echoes the Biblical principle of forgiveness, grace, and the pursuit of unity.
From the Stage to Spiritual Reflection
Born on October 1, 1996, to a Jamaican mother and a Korean father, Shenseea first gained recognition in the music industry after her collaboration with Vybz Kartel. By 2019, she signed with Interscope Records and released hits like “Blessed” featuring Tyga.
Her breakthrough onto the global stage came with her feature on Kanye West’s Donda album in 2021, landing her a Grammy nomination. In 2022, she won a MOBO Award for Best Reggae Act and released her debut album Alpha, which included a collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion titled “Lick.”
She is also a proud mother to Rajeiro, born in 2015, who has already become a child brand ambassador through Babypop Kids Store.
Faith, Family, and Influence
After the passing of her mother in June 2020, Shenseea began appearing at major festivals such as Coachella and signed with top global brands like Pepsi-Cola JA and Flow. Though not known for openly professing religious beliefs, her recent statement puts her in rare alignment with Christian principles on marriage.
As debates continue online, one thing is clear: in a world where celebrities often endorse freedom from commitment, Shenseea has chosen a different path, one that echoes the ancient yet enduring wisdom of Scripture.
