There have been a lot of gossips about a possible Kartel and Shorty fall out in the latest weeks, since photos of Kartel’s new girlfriend waiting for him at Kartel’s house surrounded by heavy security were shared by Kartel on the Gram.

This brief exchange between Shorty & Kartel should clean all the rumors, some also put out by Shelly-Ann Curran , that weighed in on the matter and brought up allegations of Shorty cheating on Vybz Kartel with Popcaan into the explosive mix, but Shorty immediately called her out for gossiping and telling lies about her. Incident closed and some shit is so fictional it does not make sense. Shorty and Poppy never linked.
