Controversy Brews Over Vybz Kartel’s Music Not Benefiting Lizard’s Family

Concerns have emerged that incarcerated Dancehall superstar Vybz Kartel’s music is not benefiting the family of his murder victim, Clive “Lizard” Williams.

This comes after allegations that the entertainer may possibly be recording music in prison, a claim which has been blatantly denied by his attorneys and representatives on several occasions.

According to Kartel’s legal team, no special arrangement has ever been granted for Vybz Kartel to continue recording music in prison. They did however admit that a suggestion was made during the course of his trial for him to possibly continue if part proceeds went to the victim’s family, but that offer was refused by their client.

A move seen by many as a reaction to the growing calls for a clamp down on Vybz Kartel’s music.The development follows former member of Parliament Lisa Hanna’s recent calls for the entertainer’s music to be banned from local airwaves.
