UPDATE: Vybz Kartel escape story was just a joke — blogger

Vybz Kartel

A blogger who posted an erroneous claim that dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel, had pulled off a dramatic escape from the New Horizon Adult Remand Centre, has confessed that it was a prank.

The hoax was posted on the website www.hypelife.com and went viral on social networks such as Facebook and twitter and was picked up by several leading news websites, some of whom have backtracked on the story after reading an Observer article which quoted Jamaican police stating that news of a jail break was a rumour.

    While it may not always be appropriate to “judge a book by it’s cover,” this particular “cover” would have me avoiding the “book” entirely.

      IT made all kinds of news – I heard it on the radio this morning as BREAKING NEWS, it was on media sites… and I read multiple reports…

      Can’t blame ppl for post false news if they depend on news reporters/ websites to provide that News

    hahaha…. garcon for all the rubbish music kartel puts out…. he can stay in jail for 100 years… spoiling the mind of our youths esp young girls… any girl that have gaza…. on her facebook page or pic is a freaking fool… tracks like life sweet i can tolerate but all the other tracks that only perpetuate promiscuity and no regard for a healthy relationship… the lyrics our young men boldly repeat and follow gives them more bravery to smack our ladies on the butt and say “that arse is mine”…. kartel u have nice songs eh… but u must keep it mature in lyrics not the xxx tings i hearing dere… only once i came home and a younger sibling was playing kartel… garcon.. since that day mr banned from the home… kartel songs is the devil in disguise… i can’t stand seeing a young woman quoting kartel esp on facebook… she just makes it clearer that i have to stay away… she’s not wifey material… yeah she may be a ruff ryder but not one to put a ring on.. “ladies take note” alot of men think the same… any ‘woman’ that singing kartel xxx lyrics word for word is an ‘easy’ target… because is not nothing productive mr saying and if that interest you then kwappo smoke your pipe… is hit and run i coming to do…. for his lyrics alone he need 20 years minimum lol :-P :-P :-P :lol: :lol:

      i couldn’t agree with you more…well said.

      I agree with you that Kartel makes stupid, senseless, pointless songs. However – i do not see why judging someone who sings his tunes so harshly. It’s like judging a Tripple K of CK fan who sings the stupid trashy songs they make…

      Dominica has some trashy songsters too – when i went to vacation i heard a song about being up in a “sous”… about open wide, i’m a dentist…how about “wood it”\
      Its all the same thing – GARBAGE.

      However, i do agree that these songs are catchy – one many not know all the lyrics – but sometimes I have found myself, while on vacation, singing these songs, chorus’, in my head.

      That doesn’t change who I am – you hear these songs all over- radio, tv, clubs… it’s when someone becomes obsessed with the stupid things advised in the song, then I have there’s a problem.

      Sometimes – it’s just foolishness on the part of the young ppl – some like the nasty lyrics, the rhythm…some may not even understand what they are repeating…

      Me myself – as a young woman – i love Reggae, i love Dancehall – i’ll find myself busting a Kartel tune on my way home..in the privacy of my car – but you won’t hear me singing that in public or rating his music.

      He has some good music, but since fame has gone to his head, he’s become just another one lost.
      I don’t identify with any one who bleaches their skin to appear lighter – 1 should always be proud to be BLACK
