In a recently released video, Gasman “Couleur” Pierre, lead vocalist and founder of Disip, addressed a matter of personal significance that has captured public attention. Couleur presented the results of a DNA test to clarify whether Junior Jean Baptiste was indeed his son, a question that has been the subject of widespread speculation in Gonaives.
Couleur, appearing relieved and smiling, spoke with calm assurance about the ordeal that has impacted his personal and professional life. He shared that the DNA test conclusively showed that Junior Jean Baptiste is not his son. This revelation, he noted, has lifted a considerable burden off his shoulders.
Addressing his character, Couleur emphasized his strong principles, stating, “I am not the vagabond some have portrayed me to be.” He likened himself to a captain or a pilot, responsible for leading and safeguarding his team, which leaves no room for irresponsible behavior.
The Disip singer also expressed how the rumors had affected his family and his music career, highlighting his commitment to family unity and the welfare of children. “I would never father a child without taking responsibility for him,” he affirmed. Couleur reflected on the claim made by Jean Baptiste, suggesting that being identified as the boy’s father was a testament to his public persona. He reassured that he would support the boy, recognizing his potential to make significant contributions to society in the future.
Couleur concluded by urging the media and the public to cease the sensationalism and defamation that have tarnished his reputation. He called for an end to harmful practices that propagate misinformation.
The controversy began in November 2022 when 17-year-old Junior Jean Baptiste, who is motherless, claimed in a widely circulated video that Couleur was his father. This claim prompted significant media coverage and discussions, leading Couleur’s team to conduct a DNA test to resolve the matter definitively. The test results confirmed that Jean Baptiste is not Couleur’s son, affirming the artist’s longstanding belief.
