After being cleared of conspiracy charges together with Vybz Kartel and Pim Pim, after the lengthy trial was finally closed, Vanessa turned up at the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court a couple of days ago to finally collect her passport and other travel documents which were seized pending the outcome of the trial.
Tears flow down her cheeks as she left the high court building in Kingston.
“I just started to cry, I don’t know where the eye water came from, but it just started to pour down my face,” Vanessa said. “I can’t even describe the feeling, it was just superb, relief and joy in one. Now I know why the caged bird sings.”
But thankfully the conspiracy case was dropped on the grounds that Kartel‘s murder conviction and sentence, which is tied to the case, is being appealed.

The charges against Bling and her two co-accused, deejay Vybz Kartel and Andre Henry Pim Pim , were dropped in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court in Half-Way-Tree, on September 24. That fact inspired Bling to record a new gospel single called -A God A Go Wid Me, produced by UIM Records.
“I am really grateful. I know that God was in the vessel with me at all times. Each day I live and I learn. I got my cross to carry and I carried it,” the 22-year-old reveals..
Vanessa Bling already released a gospel – Have Mercy On Me , that was also motivated by her legal woes, in May.
“I went to the studio to record a rendition of Mary Mary’s Can’t Give Up Now, but the producer encouraged me to record an original single. I just thought about all that I was going through, and penned the lyrics,” she said.
Vanessa was remanded for a month and nine days at The Central Village Police Station and Fort Augusta Adult Correctional Facility.
She believes being in custody made her a better person.
“There are instances where one doesn’t have to be on the wrong side of the law to be convicted. But being behind bars is no vacation,” she said.
