Vybz Kartel and Ishawna will be releasing their new music video “Washer Dryer” this week and the incarcerated deejay could make a cameo.

Kartel teased the video on his Instagram page over the weekend while leaving a hint that he will be in the clip. “Coming soon VYBZ KARTEL in WASHER DRYER ft ISHAWNA AdidjahiemRecords,” he wrote. Sources inside the Gazanation camp told DHH today that he could make a cameo in the cut but didn’t reveal how was that made possible.

“Well he might make an appearance in the video we have a big surprise for the Gazanation fans,” sources told Dancehallhiphop.com. It’s not clear if Vybz Kartel footage will be from previously recorded material or from new footage of him behind bars.

During that time it’s possible that he filmed a short footage of himself for the upcoming video.

New Vybz Kartel Photo From Prison Surfaced




Some new Vybz Kartel photos of him in prison have surfaced and gone viral on social media.

Not too often we see new images of the incarcerated dancehall star, but on Thursday some new pics popped up showing him wearing white short denim pants and white polo shirt. There is one thing new that you will notice about Vybz Kartel and that is his facial hair. The aced dancehall deejay has never before seen with facial hair. He also looks a bit slimmer than some of his most recent prison photos.

Sources inside his Gaza camp told DHH that he received a family visit yesterday from his baby mama and kids. Vybz Kartel released two new singles this week, “So Easy” and “How Can You” featuring Ishawna. On the first single, he took a shot at Alkaline for copying his style. The “Fever” deejay, whose real name is Adidja Palmer is currently serving a life sentence for murder. Earlier this year, an appeal court judge ruled in favor of granting him a new trial which will get underway in February next in the Jamaica Appeal Court.

Vybz Kartel and his attorney are confident that he will be exonerated of the murder charge.

Did Vybz Kartel Barred Popcaan From Visiting Him In Prison

Vybz Kartel and Popcaan fallout is perhaps one of the most surprising feuds in dancehall in recent years.

Not only were these artists label mates, they were very close friends and collaborators. Sources close to the incarcerated deejay gave DancehallHipHop.com some background on the circumstances that lead to their fallout. We’re told that Vybz Kartel grew angry when Popcaan didn’t visit him behind bars after a year of him getting locked up. “A year after Addi incarceration in 2012 Popcaan was still a no show,” sources said.

Popcaan then later tried to visit his former mentor behind bars but our sources revealed that Vybz Kartel sent a message to Poppy telling him to stay away. “When you find yourself in trouble that’s when you know who your real friends are,” our source added. “The boss never get a visit a phone call or anything. So when it look bad that’s when some man want to step and act but too little too late. It was lack of loyalty from some man why the boss disband Empire because he could have been running Empire from jail, but no loyalty.”

We’re told that Kartel even sends a message to Popcaan telling him to keep his name out of his mouth. But of course Popcaan still regularly shout-out Vybz Kartel on stage. We hope that these two can work out their differences and make more hit songs together again. “Clarks” was not just a mega hit single, it was a game changer in dancehall back in 2009.

In May 2012, Vybz Kartel announced through a statement sent to Dancehall HipHop that he has disbanded Portmore Empire, blaming it on his legal woes. “Dancehall fans worldwide it with great regret that I, Adidja Palmer, have decided to disband the Portmore Empire,” Kartel said. “These artistes have been under the Adidjahiem leadership for years, where they have honed their craft and made their mark, and as such, are well on their way to becoming major forces in Dancehall. They have reached a level where they are more capable to take on their careers by themselves, and it would be unfair to them, based on the limited resources of Adidjahiem Records, and current legal woes of the Adidjahiem C.E.O. and team members.”
