Jamaican singer Vybz Kartel reacts to 'Nairobian' story, asks Kayole’s Gaza gang to worship God, not him




Vybz Kartel suspects a Jamaican living in Kenya could be behind the scheme to mint money by exploiting the poor youths

Jamaican musician Adidja Azim Palmer better known as Vybz Kartel has disowned Kenyan Gaza gang.
The musician through a TV host in Jamaica was reacting to a story earlier published inThe Nairobian alleging that Gaza members were looking at Kartel who is currently in jail as their god.
Some of the former members told The Nairobian they would act and behave as directed by Kartel who is currently in jail. However, the musician has disowned the group and its beliefs saying he is not God and the youths have been misled by people intending to profit from their deeds.
Kartel distanced himself from the gang after an unidentified Kenyan sent voice note to Souflo TV, a popular Jamaican channel pointing out the gang’s conviction on Kartel. He also pointed out the story published by The Nairobian highlighting their faith on him.
The caller urged the artist to use his popular platform to deflate it as it had become a threat to national security.
The TV host responding on behalf of the artist said: “I have a voice note from Kenya. I have been told of a gang in Kenya that worships Vybz Kartel as their god. The problem is this gang is also extremely violent and has been murdering people among other crimes”.
He said the musician worships a higher being and does not consider himself God, and neither does he advise his fans to steal and kill.
“He is more likely to tell you to stay in school and get education that would uplift your life from the conditions you are in,” the host said.
He added; “Kartel does not support these things. This is not part of Kartel. Whoever is misguiding these youths should remember that music is very powerful, and what they are probably doing is that they are using Kartel’s powerful music to indoctrinate these guys.”
The musician suspects a Jamaican living in Kenya could be behind the scheme to mint money by exploiting the poor youths.
“Like you know a poor child in Nairobi they might be looking at say Teacher’s Pet (a TV series) and watching that show thinking ‘wow that is what a no-caring attitude could bring you like committing crime and murder, have a big mansion with a bunch of beautiful women’. They pick and choose and fight over him and all these propaganda they are using to achieve their agenda,” the host said.

ONE ON ONE WITH BONELESS

ONE ON ONE: BONELESS           Hassan Juma, popularly known as BONELESS KENYA  , talks of his musical career his up and downs and why he is in the industry to stay (conversation) Do you sometimes feel that the name boneless kenya is bigger than you? Sometimes yes, but not all the time because I knew what I was getting into when I started calling myself boneless . I knew I was going to advertise that brand more than my character. People always associate the name with the character, which is very wrong. So you will find people saying: “That guy feels so sweet”. No, that’s the brand. The brand has to sell, the brand has to feel sweet and be expensive. But the character is different. So is Hassan down to earth? Yes I am, that’s how I was raised. Plus, that’s how Kenyan people are, it’s our culture, we are very down to earth. But when you are already a brand like boneless kenya , it becomes very hard to associate ...
