Vybz Kartel Says No More Guns & War In His Songs

It was yesterday that Jamaican dancehall superstar Vybz Kartel, real name Adidja Azim Palmer, also known as World Boss, declared that he is over doing songs about guns, war or badman lyrics.

Vybz Kartel said that he made this decision because he has moved past persons trying to get a ‘hype’ off his name and he is trying to distance himself from negative associations.

“Me stop do gun song and bad man lyrics,” he said. “I did a song called Bad Up Yuh Mada and everyone and their mada counteracted it. Well, I got news for them. Dem a war wid demselves, cause I ain’t giving them the time of day, hush yaw insects and parasites. I must be Twitter cause everybody a follow me.”

Kartel added:

“With that being said, the record must show that firstly Big Bad And Brave, secondly Duppy Know Who Fi Frighten and thirdly Clap It Up were all released this month just in case people hear them and think I’m going against my word.”
“I just think it’s played out now and I don’t have time for the negative associated with it or the other artists who seek to counteract them as a means to reignite their mediocre career. It takes away from creativity.”

In the future, Kartel says he will not be responding to any lyrics aimed at him directly or indirectly.

He said, “Why should I? It’s all about Gaza, Gully and I-Octane, so anyone who wants to bridge the current, so to speak, will have to do so with creativity and originality. Not mediocrity and frivolous banter.”

The Jamaiacan artist says that even with his stance, his songs will still be lyrically interesting and fans can expect the ‘usual Kartel topics.’

He disclosed, “remember I’m a person who sings about my life. And in my life there is never a dull moment.”
