Published on September 1, 2019, Jamaican Dance-hall king Garfield Spence, aka Konshens, has ended his two-year marriage to Latoya Wright.

According to Latoya's Instagram post, she is now a single woman, and if her ex-husband Konshens starts acting single, the world should understand that he's free to do anything he wishes.

Konshens and Latoya dated for six years before tying the knot in a beautiful beach wedding in 2017. The couple has one son together, Liam, and was recently spotted enjoying a family vacation before their breakup.

The news of their impending divorce comes after Konshens faced heavy lifestyle criticism for his decision to plait his hair and pierce his nose. Staunch fans accused him of leaning towards the rainbow side, despite being married to someone's daughter.

Kenyan women have celebrated the news of Konshens' single status, with some recalling his first performance in Kenya, which saw a series of breakups as ladies openly threw their underclothes at the musician.
