In the documentary Usain Bolt says “Vybz Kartel is my favorite artist” “He is a good lyricist. I listen to all his music. It is fun.”
Kartel has the same admiration back for the athlete. He said about Bolt
“It is a great feeling to know we share the same respect,”“Usain Bolt is my favorite athlete and I have known him since high school.
We are two Jamaicans who in our respective fields both reach the heights of greatness, yet to be surpassed. It is a good comparison.”
