An arrest changed things for Sade

She allegedly verbally abused the arresting officers at the police station. Though she was living in Ocho Rios, Sade decided to leave Jamaica. The case was postponed but in 1998, an arrest warrant was issued after the singer failed to appear in court.

Sade moved briefly to the Caribbean to live with Jamaican music producer Bob Morgan in the late 1990s, and gave birth to their child on 21 July 1996. The child was raised as a daughter, who sang on Sade’s song “Babyfather” in 2010.
