In a recent interview with GQ, Usain Bolt claimed that his perceived womanizing is simply part of his Jamaican culture and that people should not be so quick to pass judgement or give him labels.

According to Bolt, “the British press is always trying to make him out to be a bad guy who loves women.”

“You can’t judge a different culture by your own culture. In England when you get famous the first thing you do is get married and have kids. In Jamaica it’s different — like my parents had me and they got married 11 years later,” Bolt explained.

As for the famous Olympian’s current love life, he is reportedly dating Kasi Bennett, though the two of them do not seem to have any plans to settle down together. He also recently made headlines when he was seen in a picture cuddling in bed with 20-year-old Brazilian student Jady Duarte during the recent Summer Olympics.

“In Jamaica, we wine on each other. It’s our culture. People see it the first time, they’re like, What is going on? It’s like they’re having sex in the club! No, that’s just the culture. It’s how we are,” he said.
