VYBZ KARTEL – JAMAICAN DANCEHALL ARTIST SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON

A jury found the 38-year-old, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, guilty of the death of an associate in March.

Clive ‘Lizard’ Williams was killed after being asked to Kartel’s home to discuss two missing illegal hand guns.

Vybz Kartel is one of Jamaica’s biggest music stars with hits including Clarks, Ramping Shop and Summer Time.

His success led to him launching lines of shoes, alcohol and condoms.

The singer also became the first dancehall artist to star in his own reality TV show, Teacha’s Pet.

 

Vybz Kartel was previously arrested in 2011 on drug charges.

They were later dropped, but an investigation by Jamaica’s Major Investigation Taskforce (MIT) discovered illegal firearms during a search of his house.

Police also charged him with being involved in the deaths of two men from the Portmore district of the island.

One murder case was dropped due to lack of evidence, however the musician and three other men went on trial for the killing of Clive ‘Lizard’ Williams.

The trial lasted 65 days and was the longest court case in the history of the Caribbean island, having started last November.

A key piece of evidence was a text message said to be sent from Kartel’s phone.

It claimed Clive ‘Lizard’ Williams had been chopped up into so many pieces his body would never be found.

Vybz Kartel’s career has never been short on controversy.

Over the years, his skin tone appeared to become lighter but the rapper always denied using skin bleaching chemicals.

Kartel instead claimed his change in complexion was due excessive time spent in air conditioned environments.

However, he has admitted to using Cake Soap – a Jamaican detergent that contains bleach.

CHAD “HOECHO” CINCO SAYS HE WILL NEVER BE MONOGAMOUS

So Chad “Hoecho” Cinco sat down with Peter Bailey and gave his take on the question “Can men be monogamous?”  Obviously, according to Chad the Hoe, the answer is “NO”.  The self proclaimed “weirdo” and what I deem him as “The Head Butt King”, was very open with his interview with Peter.  Here are some excerpts from the interview below:

On Some Men Not Being Able to Commit:
There are men out there that are willing to give their all, that have the discipline to be able to give them that storybook ending, that fairytale as I so call it. I think I’m good for that for about about 6 months. I’m on track, I’m good, [but] I don’t care how fine you are, I’m going to lose interest.

On why it seems as though most beautiful women are out there (or crazy)
It’s just the way it is. The badder you are the more activity that’s coming at you. That’s just the way it is. No substance. Outside of shoes, purses and clothes. What’s next? What else do you have to offer besides your looks? What can you do besides look good?

On How he Feels About Evelyn:

E was dope that’s all I can say because that chapter was gone, that chapter was played so my last thoughts will always be positive. E was dope, she had her sh*t in order. 

Anyone I’ve ever dealt with…look I’m not putting pressure on you. Those unrealistic pressures of you having to deal with just me.  I would never do that. There’s so many people out here. There are regular people. People right there in the middle and we have these power players, high rollers that I feel that can get any everybody they choose.

On if he’s made critical errors in his past relationships

I didn’t make any critical errors, I always tell the truth from jump. Discipline I lack it, dealing with one woman, let’s think rationally, let’s think logically. It ain’t have nothing to do with South Beach, it ain’t have nothing to do with Miami.  I don’t care how fine you are, for every fine woman, there’s a dude that is tired of that same woman. Human nature is undefeated and what I’ve always done, even in my past relationship, is tell the truth from jump. I never lied, I’m not going to lie to you. Why sell you a dream?

These ninjas ain’t loyal! I dun told ya’ll!!! This turd looking ninja is doing what these day??? *crickets*  I really don’t know, and don’t really care since his football career is a distant memory, but if women want to sleep with this arrogant chimp, they got whats coming to them which is absolutely nothing *crickets*  watch the video of the interview below, and please comment on how you feel about the topic, Can Men be Monogamous?

 

 

UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP DISMANTLES ISLAND DEF JAM DIVISION

In the latest music industry news Universal Music Group, a record company that sells almost 40 percent of the world’s music, made a series of structural changes on Tuesday, splitting up one of its major divisions and displacing Barry Weiss, the former Sony executive who was brought in three years ago to run the company’s East Coast operations. Island Def Jam Motown group will be broken into three separate labels. The restructuring will lead to some promotions for key executives.  Steve Bartels will now serve as the CEO of Def Jam.

David Massey will continue to hold the top position at Island and The label will add its own marketing, publicity and A&R departments.

Motown is set to relocate to Los Angeles headed by Ethiopia Habtemariam.  As for Barry Weiss, who previously served as chairman and CEO of East Coast Labels, will step down “in order to enter into discussions with UMG about a new venture together.”

The reason for the restructure boils down to this quote made by Universal chairman Lucian Grainge: “The fact is: No matter how much we might work to build ‘Island Def Jam’ as a brand, that brand could never be as powerful as each of IDJ’s constituent parts,”

Epps has a daughter Aiyanna Yasmine from a previous relationship. I loved me some “TOTAL” back in the day, so it’s great to see these two happier than ever in Love.
