I was browsing Wikipedia, and came across this.

Sean Paul was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and spent his early years "comfortably" (according to his VH1 biography[1]) in Upper Saint Andrew Parish, a few miles north of his birthplace. His parents were both talented athletes, and his mother a well-known painter.[2] His father is Jewish (whose Portuguese family emigrated to Jamaica in the 17th century) and his mother Chinese Jamaican. In line with his Sephardic heritage, he was a pupil at the island's Hillel Academy, a non-religious school funded by the local Jewish community.[citation needed] He claims to be a direct descendant of Solomon through his father.[3]

Many members of Sean Paul's family are swimmers.[4] His grandfather was on the first Jamaican men's national water polo team.[5] His father also played water polo for the team in the 1960s, and competed in long-distance swimming, while Sean Paul's mother was a backstroke swimmer.[6] Sean Paul played for the national water polo team from the age of thirteen to twenty-one.[7]. However, he gave up the sport in order to launch his musical career.

I thought he had followed the path of Bob Marley (himself half-white) growing up in the Kingston ghettos, especially since he looks and acts so ghetto. But it turns out he's a Portuguese/Chinese Jewish prep school kid who played water polo of all things. :confused:
