Dancehall’s leading superstar Vybz Kartel, a few days ago publicly shared his outrage after realizing his most successful, and what he believes is the Dancehall album of the year was snubbed in this year’s nominations.
Vybz Kartel believes nominations are all based upon association rather than lyrical wittiness and creativity, the deejay felt so strongly about it he had to air his views on social media.
