As you would expect there’s been a lot of “diss tracks” created for, and by the great man. A couple of long term beefs were with Beenie Man and later Mavado. The latter of these fracas needed a police run conference and later a meeting with the Jamaican Prime Minister just to try and get them to cuddle and make up.
The high level meetings were an effort to stop the rioting in Kingston that was sparked by their bitchy vox. Imagine Tony Blair getting involved in the Gallagher/ Robbie mish mash that went down. I would have enjoyed that.
Not content with laying down dance floor rammers, promoting English shoes, being involved in inter-vocalist beef fights and producing his own booze “Vybz rum”, and condoms “daggering condoms”, he also plans to bring out his own brand of “cake soap”. It’s this special soap, which is used in Jamaica for whitening laundry, which is blamed/ credited for the whitening of Vybz’ skin.
From the piccies above it’s clear to see a Michael Jackson sized change in tone. He also looks pretty screwed. Apparently whitening is becoming a bit of a Jamaican craze, on the rise thanks partly to Kartel.
