Vybz kartel has come out lashing Caribbean leaders for his recent spate of bans. The artiste is apparently irate because this is more or less his last real source of income being stripped from him. This adds to the existing ban from the rest of the world as well as the exit from his crew the likes of Gaza Kim, Blak Ryno and Lisa Hyper. The reduction in crew members means that Kartel no longer garner any revenue from them, where he would normally get a percentage of their performance, appearance and dub fees.
There was a St. Lucian group who made an attempt to lobby the government for the artiste to perform in that country, this apparently didn't work.. as the show which should have taken place over the weekend didn't happen.
Kartel indicated in several interviews that his art is a reflection of society.... well the leaders of Barbados and St. Lucia are saying that his lyrics has a negative impact on their society...
So Kartel need to stop reflecting the negative aspect of society and reflect the nice, peaceful and beautiful aspect of it.. and be truthful... though it wont 'sell' as much as the raunchy stuff for him... and im not sure if this would make any difference in the future re his access to the Caribbean market and other strong revenue markets.
