Controversial dancehall deejay Vybz Kartel remains in custody although his detention period ends today.
Music News understands that the leader of the Portmore Empire is to be held for another 30 days. However he may be released earlier.
Vybz Kartel turned himself over to police on July 2 some three days after being named along with five other men as persons of major interest by the St. Catherine South Police.
Kartel is expected to perform on dancehall night at Reggae Sumfest on Thursday, July 22 at Catherine Hall, Montego Bay.
Robert Russell one of the organizers of the highly anticipated reggae festival, told Music News in an interview yesterday that Vybz Karel is expected to be out of jail in time to perform at the 18th staging of Reggae Sumfest.

- i personally am not a fan off kartel, but his business a him business, all i read hypocritical comments. how come people quick to hang ninja and kartel, yet buju is an angel, only jah knows what a man really get up to, and nuff rasta artist a keep up nuff nastiness on tour, or where they live a foreign. everyone seh ninja guilty, but it no mek no sense, why he would end a baby life, when his music career start step up again, just as why would buju get caught up in a drugs when him a big international touring artist. maybe both artist are being framed, buju has no need fi sell drugs, just as ninja has no need to get caught up in some 20 year old boy argument. AS for kartel being a criminal and dissing women, people please watch a film called precious, me watch it the other day, and these tings are the real nastiness on the earth. what a man and woman a do is their business, even the same as two grown homosexuals, but what is worse is when man and woman abuse young babies and innocent teenagers. and we all a know nuff a dem ting a gwarn in a jamaica, so people need to check their own shit, and leave their nose outta next people shit. Big up queen ifrica, for making the tune, daddy dont touch mi there, as that is the worse crime of humanity, it stands next to rape and paedophille dem
Royal Steppa Jul 17 10
- Royal steppa a pure rass hypocrite blog pon yah Buju is no fucking saint a just careless him careless seh him get caught. Me sure no seh a no him twin dem see pon tape deh or should i say caught. Buju too damn craven. Rasta a d biggest liad n fake ass ppl I know. Go see how much tune Addi write deh now. Jamican ppl licky licky n craven and sell out a pure nastiness them put up with n turn a blind eye den a praise jah with the next breath

- isis fyah passion, for years me a listen reggae music, from 7 years old. and their is life and teaching in the music. and nuff children a jamaica can repeat a kartel or movado song of by heart, yet dont know dem abc. the kids do look to the artist as idols and great figures, so they need to be more aware of what dem a chat.. how can a man a sing jah rastafari one minute, then pump up har pum pum, or driver, dont stop atall, man a promote drugs, and under gal frock. then a big jah song or of some seriousness, then a talk about dem have nuff gun, it sounds really messy and confusing. me a ras, but what some artist a gwarn wid me na respect. music is just music, and people cant get wrapped up in their music and words, as like politicians, its their business. to make money, yu ovastand. just like churches. they start out all good and their intentions seem correct, build up their fan base, start tour and mek corn.. the only rasta artist that me rate is i wayne, him na business if him no mek hol eep a corn, him talk him ting st8.. Nuff man just a sing about what can make a dollar, which me na blame dem, people just need to realise a money dem a look. As for slackness, that buss shabba, yellowman and general echo long time, gun buss ninja and jah buss capleton. what makes me laugh is that some artists forget what they have sung. Remember a ninja tune from 91 whey him seh, " under the sun, me na give no police no gun" , a song called sell out de gun, then how come in 2002 him give adams one pon stage, look pon capleton in a tune Cant sleep ah nite, where him seh me stop tell woman about under dem dress, yet by 1998 him reverse to pum pum tunes, even the original fire man antony b start sing about please har and tease har, and one minute sizzla a talk love, then a talk about cop killa, shoot dutty nigga, so me na watch dem hype. Bounti killa st8, beenie a joker, and sing what everyone else agwarn wid and ninja is crazy cant mek up im mind , wheter to be a bad man or a christian, long time buju loose him faith and music swich, he only turn rasta to save him carrer after boom bye bye, then by 2004 start sing about life in the fast lane, another drug minded tune. nowadays i'd rather listen to a good stugrav tape, big up de colonel, biggy and principal, dem man know how fi mek dance nice and good vibes a flow. Music is not about badness or foolishness, just niceness

- wellit is now very obvious that kartel does what he sings about everyday. i alwaya say that his music are vivid representations of his personality and the evil, insane things he thinks. me murder people ina broad day light and foolishness like dat.....it was just a matter of time until he got caught!
- a lot of other artists sing similar tunes and in time we will see who is just makng music for fun and money and who is singing their live story.
- marcia mi totally agree with yah because him people dem weh him control in an around his community are aware of what he's doing but trough him give dem money and all di other thing, take care of dem etc. Dem still insist on keeping him dirty secretes away from di police an in esence dem gudda all fraid a him to

Im pickney dem av nuff crosses fi follow dem, mi granny sey "wah drop offa head drop pon shoulder," Ja ppl, unu wake up! Wicked murderer like Kartel should get no spotlight unless it's a live broadcast of a court trial for all the ppl dem im murder!
