Vybz Kartel arrives in the BVI!
Jamaican dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel has arrived in the territory for the highly anticipated Black on Black concert, set for Saturday, March 15.
News of his performance has sparked mixed reactions—some expressing excitement over its potential economic benefits, while others have condemned the government for supporting the event due to Kartel’s controversial past.
Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, was released from a Jamaican prison in 2024 after serving thirteen years. His murder conviction was overturned by the UK’s Privy Council.
Meanwhile, the BVI Christian Council (BVICC) issued a statement on Friday, March 7, strongly criticizing the government’s financial backing of the concert. While acknowledging that it was too late to stop the event, the BVICC urged the Premier to refrain from funding similar events in the future.
“We informed the Premier, in no uncertain terms, of our disappointment in the government’s financial support of the Vybz Kartel concert, as the messaging of this activity directly contravenes our Christian principles and greatly impacts our cultural and moral trajectory,” the BVICC stated.
Concert promoter Parillon defended the event, emphasizing its significance as Kartel’s first performance outside of Jamaica in over 13 years. He has projected significant profits for businesses across the territory ahead of the upcoming concert.
Other artistes scheduled to perform includes international acts such as Skillibeng and Jah Vinci, along with surprise guest performances.

No matter how you feel about VYBZ, he is rocking that outfit. Love the jacket and the sneakers.
still no tickets being sold
He looks slimy nasty and smelly.
I see better and more pleasant objects in the toilet.
That is a terrible thing to say about someone. Immature.
Waste of time.
To all you fat overweight women that is going to the concert have some respect for yourselves when it comes to wearing the to short tight outfits showing the rubbing together thunder thighs and bad lace front weaves. That is nasty to look at.
Love the thick women with the thick thighs 🙂
Because you are nasty. You love them because you can freak out on them and then talk about how fat they are and can’t move in bed.
How little you think of a larger woman, whose worth in measured according to her size. It could not possibly occurr to you that, the men that love on a bigger girl can actually like her.
Her worth is measured only by a standard of beauty that you find acceptable. Your soul is ugly and the bible say what is in a man’s heart he speaketh. You can be the prettiest person right now but you are ugly.
I pray that you don’t meet a circumstance where you are made to be measured on you looks alone because, those fade or can be snatched away from you because life is happening.
God bless your ugly little soul.
Harsh but true. Have respect for yourselves, it is very unattractive stop embarrassing yourselves. The so called friends that is telling you that you look good is lying to you.
only women say things like this to women thats a shame
Agreed. It is absolutely a woman. Only woman compete with women on this level to the point of allowing their misogynist little soul to promote the agenda of a man.
God got a sense of humor and the thing you do not want for yourself, because you visit it on others, He will visit it on you.
So worry about yourself and if you can’t be kind, stfu.
There was a way to say that without the cruelty so blantantly intended to cause harm.
But Like I said, God got a sense of humor and He may very well punish you with the thing you find so repugant in others that you forgot to be a human.
