Queenie ready to love again

Social media personality and dancehall artiste Queenie Ladi Gangsta says she has not given up on love and is even willing to open her heart to a man with physical challenges.

"I don't mind dating or being with a disabled person, as I am an energy giving person and mi like special people. Mi like people who is not normal like normal. I would date someone who is blind because I am a caring, loving person and as long as my energy connects to that person, I am good," she said.

Queenie recently appeared on the UK's ITV Network dating show Blind Matchmakers. In the series, the entertainer is paired with a visually impaired man but says it was merely a TV date.

"All the contestants are blind so it's literally a blind date. For this particular show, I went just for the experience and it was a test run, I didn't fall in love with anyone. But it's possible that I could meet someone on a dating show and fall in love because if I went on a date like that and all a the hair dem stand up pon mi and mi heart a go 'bum dum dum' and mi a get butterflies and current, then mi all for it," Queenie said.

She said when she was contacted by the producer of the show to be a part of the cast, she instantly gave them the nod.

"I didn't even know what I was getting myself into or else mi would a put on little makeup and fix up. Mi go on it because mi full of character and all purpose, suh mi just go for it. When mi see di set-up, I was intrigued," she said.

Queenie, 55, filed for divorce late last year from her estranged husband Dwayne 'Dewey' Scarlett following a roller coaster three year marriage. In 2021, she married Scarlett who is 20 years her junior. Now single and ready to mingle, Queenie said she has space for a new king in her palace.

"Anyone who make mi heart beat extra hard could get a chance. Mi wah get married again and love is out there for me, mi nah give up on myself. And if it's a blind, deaf or one foot person, then it would be really special as I would have to tender care that person. I have a special needs son and even though he is not blind, he has a disability so I know I can master that," Queenie told THE STAR.

"It's possible I could get married to someone who is blind or have other disabilities and go 'here comes the bride with a blind husband. I don't really mind as long as the man loves me'," Queenie sang.

Currently Queenie is in Turkey, undergoing a dental procedure as a part of her birthday celebration on December 2.
