I lost my virginity at 10 and had my first child at 16 - Charly Boy


Charly Boy has revealed that he had his first child when was 16 years.

In an article written by him called "Wandering Penis", the controversial entertainer revealed how he lost his virginity at the age of 10.

"When i was barely 10years old, my baby nurse was caught tampering with me sexually...a practice that pleasured me even though i didn't know what the heck to do, when we were caught by my mother needless to say how levied she was.
My God! Come and see! She beat the living hell out of my baby nurse. By the time i turned 12, i was disvirgined by a local whore who dashed me my first STD, it was as if my kini was on fire. Kai! I confided in my mama, who took it upon herself to further frighten and scare the living day light out of me, telling me how sex is so bad and dangerous. 

"From the on, girls were getting pregnant around me like they were all catching cold. The more i was beaten up by my father, and scared shitless by my mother for my waywardness the more stories of pregnant girls all over the bloody place grew, it was amazing though, it wasn't funny.
Meanwhile, in secondary school my mates were busy being good children, reading their books, i was busy fornicating all over the place getting girls pregnant. It was incredible when i come to think of it now."

"By the time i was 16 years old, i had my first baby, ofcourse not to be seen as a cursed child, i denied any knowledge of ever knowing the woman at the time, who usually were all older than me, some by 10years.
All i could chorus at that time was the famous tune by Shaggy, No, "It wasn't me".

He further revealed that he had his first marriage which didn't work out at the age of 19.

"By the time i turned turned 19, my mother in her wisdom talked me into getting married early. I went along with the program...that marriage failed before it kicked off, i was just too young and immature to understand what i was getting into, that's how i ended up marring 3 times, experimenting with different women before meeting my present anointed wife, lady Diane"

"My first son is about 46yrs old now, an associate professor at MIT in Boston Mass, USA. Then it was a taboo for a young man of 16 to be making babies, right now my people, it's a blessing, and i thank God daily.
I have nine kids and 14 grandchildren, I have had all my fill God knows, but the hardest thing was the discipline i had to employ when i built the larger than life image that is Charly Boy."
