KINGSTON, Jamaica — Eight-time Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt has dispelled speculations suggesting that any of his three children with long-time girlfriend Kasi Bennett are not his.

“You know seh a Kasi show me, because you know she more deh pon dem something deh so she will see it. She show me it and mi say how me involve and mi not even take no DNA test so me nuh understand how me involved in this. Me a the only athlete?” Bolt jokingly responded to a question posed by hosts of popular podcast, The Fix.

The rumours circulated on social media after a user claimed that a well-known track and field athlete was not the father of his children. Many speculated that the rumour was about Usain Bolt. However, Bolt dismissed the speculation.

“Mi nuh take nuh DNA test big man so my name cyah inna the system for nobody to call my name so just leave my name,” he emphasised.

The 38-year-old said he considered addressing the rumours after people began tagging his girlfriend on social media but decided against it.

“Mi nuh business, yuh nah go worry bout things that aren’t truthful. You see throughout my career if I was — and one of the biggest things athletes do now that’s why dem stress out, dem follow up social media and read comments and look for ‘wah people a say bout me’. Mi nuh care weh people wah say bout me. I care zero,” Bolt said.
