Pearly Beach in Ocho Rios, Jamaica was the scene of Chris Gayle’s 40 Shades of Gayle 5.0 party. 

It’s the 5th edition of the event, which started at his mansion in Kingston, Jamaica but has outgrown his residence. This edition started a little before sunset on the white sand beach and with the calm, clear blue waters of the Caribbean Sea.

The event was to celebrate Chris Gayle’s 45th birthday and partygoers were treated to an all-inclusive event where liquor and food remained a constant until 3am.

Gayle danced around the venue greeting all the patrons on the sand and in cabanas. Soca music, dancehall, afrobeats and reggae were spinning from Johnny Kool of Zip FM, and Supa Hype from Sun City Radio, along with DJ Kurt Riley and others. Irie FM was also present, giving live reports from the party.

Gayle was very pleased with the turnout of patrons and thanked everyone for coming, including his 94- year-old father.

He also thanked his marketing team of Camar Flava, Contractor Music Marketing and Chantal, his personal assistant, along with his other on-the-ground team. 

Proceeds from the event will benefit several charities, including the basic school Gayle attended that was damaged by Hurricane Beryl on July 3.

Celebrities in attendance included Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake, Masicka, Michael Frater, Beenie Man and Indian actress Prachi Tehlan.
