Incarcerated Dancehall superstar Vybz Kartel‘s musical output and social media presence has witnessed a notable reduction since becoming the subject of heavy scrutiny from several government officials and influential personalities.
Fans have noted a visible decline in the social and musical activity of the “Gaza Boss” following controversial allegations that he may recording music in prison. These claims reached a pinnacle after former Member of Parliament, Lisa Hanna, called for the deejay’s music to be banned from local airwaves.
Despite the controversial claims Vybz Kartel’s team have maintained that the deejay is not recording any music in prison, nor does he have any access to devices capable of utilizing social media. According to them, all the deejay’s social media platforms are handled by his team under his directives.
