Forget the many friends. Ditch the groupies and the entourage. Elephant Man’s daughter, Haley Bryan, is his true friend.

“Haley a mi don. She

come een like mi likkle soldier. A mi daughter, but she come een like mi fren,

mi soldier. If you see how mi move, mi nuh inna di bag a fren ting cause we

live and learn how wicked mankind can be, so mi just mek Haley be my fren,” Elephant

Man told BUZZ, noting that he doesn’t have as many friends as he used to.

Elephant Man

explained that the special bond he has with his daughter began the moment she

was born.

“Haley, me and har

madda used to live. She grow wid me. Haley a di first pickney weh mi have weh

born weh me and har madda live inna one house,” he said.

While he has a special relationship with Haley, Elephant Man insists that he loves all his 15 children in the same way. The difference, he said, is that the other kids grew up abroad or with their mothers.

Haley is often seen dancing

alongside her dad at stage shows, and many times she is with him at the studio.

Now that she is learning the ropes, Elephant Man wouldn’t be opposed to her

following in his footsteps.

“Mi been a bring

Haley inna music from long time, show her the ropes and she see weh har fadda

go through. She understand di ting,” he said.

“She love dance. Mi

nuh know if she a go tek up the baton and carry on di ting. It inna har DNA, so

I wouldn’t be surprised. So far, mi neva hear har a deejay or sing, but mi know

she can dance.”
