Embattled dancehall star Vybz Kartel has opens up about the infamous split with longtime business partner Corey Todd last year. Recently Todd released a statement confirming the reunion. In his statement Corey Todd attribute the split to Vybz Kartel’s associates.

Now the self proclaim Worl’Boss is echoing the same sentiments.

According to the “Dancehall Hero” deejay, he was too caught up being “world boss.”

“What happened between me and Corey was just a misunderstanding,” Vybz Kartel said in a statement.  

“Truth be told I really had some negative elements around me, that bad mind me and Corey partnership because of its success. At the time I was too caught up being world boss to realize I was destroying one of realest friendships I ever had. Being in here made me realize that we did achieve greatness together… after all if a neva fi Corey and Kartel STREET VYBZ woulda never buss in people head and Building would a never Buck pon a Saturday.”

Vybz Kartel’s common-law wife, Tanesha ‘shorty’ Johnson, release a letter from the deejay to his fans.

“Gaza fans just get ready fi start clubbing it and rummin it,” Kartel said in the letter. “Right now, this reunion bigga than the north and south after the civil war…The business mogul and the dancehall star…Awoh!”

NO MORE PORTMORE EMPIRE!!!!!

Embattled dancehall star Vybz Kartel has officially disbanded the Portmore Empire.
In a statement sent to Urban Islandz from Adidjahiem Records reps, Vybz Kartel said he took the conscious decision because of his current legal troubles.

“Dancehall fans worldwide it with great regret that I, Adidja Palmer, have decided to disband the Portmore Empire,” Vybz Kartel said in the statement. “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.”

“I wish them the best and I am confident that they will live up to my expectations. In the future, Adidjahiem will continue to bring out new acts and groom them for stardom,”

Portmore Empire has been one of the most dominant crews in dancehall over the last five years. This was no surprise since Vybz Kartel spearheads the group shortly after leaving from under the wings of his former mentor Bounty Killer, who heads the Alliance.

Former members of the Portmore Empire Tommy Lee and Gaza Slim, aka Vanessa Bling, have formed their own label, PG13.

“Look out for PG13…It soon work in,” Tommy Lee said, while Gaza Slim added, “right now, a PG13 di ting deh.”

Recently Corey Todd released a statement blaming associates of Vybz Kartel for their fallout last year, as well as, his current legal woes.
 
“The associates that led to his incarceration are the same associates that cause our partnership to end at the time, but I must add that our egos also clashed. His arrest had a humbling effect on me and caused me to reflect on my own actions. I then lost interest in my present projects and made artistes involved aware that I wish discontinue, this around November,”

BUSY SIGNAL'S RESPONSE TO RECENT ARREST

Dancehall star Busy Signal has released a statement in response to his recent arrest in Kingston and pending extradition to the United States.

In the statement released to the media, Busy Signal thanks his family, friends and fans for their unwavering support.

Busy Signal, whose real name is Glendale Gordon, was recently arrested at the Norman Manley International airport in Kingston after an extradition warrant was issued for his arrest.

The “One More Night” deejay has waved his rights to an extradition hearing and will proceed to the U.S. next month where he is expected to stand trial for absconding bail.

Read Busy Signal full statement below.

In this a time of reflection, I would like to thank my fans who have supported me through this difficult situation and who will continue to support me. Your messages and prayers via social networks and via members of my team are what have brought light to the darkness of my cell.

I have never admitted that I was involved in any drug deal or drug arrangement.

I waived my rights to an extradition trial here in Jamaica, so that I can return to the US to face a charge of absconding bail ONLY.

This incident took place ten (10) years ago before I even considered becoming an artiste.

As you can understand, this is a difficult time for me, however during my time away, my fans will not be left with a void – there are several unreleased tracks that will definitely keep you “busy” until my return.

I recently released my album Reggae Music Again, which debuted at number 5 on the Billboard Reggae charts. On my recent tour of Amsterdam and Paris, we shot elements for the video to the title track of the album. It features cameos from Marcia Griffiths, Queen Ifrica and Anthony B and that will be released in a couple of weeks.

For my fans overseas, my management team has been in dialogue with promoters who have all shown their support for me and my situation and for that I thank them.

For my family, you have stood by me through thick and thin and I know you will continue to do so. In my time away, I have made the necessary arrangements with my management team to have you taken care of until my return.

To my band. Hi-Voltage, you have toured the world with me and have been a tower of strength. Continue to make good music until I return, cause the mission will continue.

I know that my facebook page has been inactive for a while, but, starting this week, Shane Brown, head of Juke Boxx management team, will assume direct control of my twitter account -@busysignal_turf and my facebook page – www.facebook.com/OneBusySignal. I will be kept updated so please continue to send your love, support and prayers through these channels, as they keep me going.

To my legal team, KD Knight, Bert Samuels and Roxanne Mars, your positive words and unfailing belief and support in me and my case have made this situation a little easier to bear.
Thank you very much.

Finally my friends, my fans and my family, thank you again from the depths of my heart. Please keep me in your prayers.

We not going down, cause God alone controls my destiny.
- Busy Signal
