I Warned Kartel — Queen Ifrica Reggae singer Queen Ifrica has never been one to back down from offering her views on a controversial topic and hence when asked by Splash of her views on the issue regarding alleged recordings by incarcerated dancehall deejay Vybz Kartel, she noted that the artiste would not be in prison had he listened to her. “If Kartel did listen to me he would not be in prison right now, because I warned him that this was coming. The society that we live in, they will not tell you to stop the foolishness, but when you are forced to stop they will not stand by you. Kartel learned that the hard way. The fact that his music is still so popular shows how much of a reach he has. Young people love what he says and a lot of what he sings about — the bleaching and the party and so on are associated with certain products and some people want the products to move off the shelves.” Queen Ifrica believes the authorities should allow the incarcerated deejay to record f...

Vybz Kartel Could Be Given Permission To Record Music In GP Vybz Kartel sudden move to GP two weeks ago came as a surprise but it may have been orchestrated by the dancehall deejay.
