Over 5000 turn out for Vybz Kartel show!
The memorable event, organised by Yolo Promotions, was held behind the Ralph T. O’Neal Administration Complex. The venue proved to be spacious enough to comfortably accommodate the more than five thousand persons who showed up to see the legend and other artistes in action.
Additionally, there was about another thousand persons on the outside watching the show through the fence or on top of their vehicles.
Kartel captivates!
For two hours, Vybz Kartel commanded the attention of the crowd, many of whom had their phones out to ensure they caught the memorable moment. This is the first time Vybz Kartel performed outside of Jamaica since being released from prison.
The ‘World Boss’ dished out some of his popular hits that made him regarded as a global dancehall superstar and certainly brought back vivid memories of him in his younger days.
He also collaborated with Jah Vinci and Rvssian to add more energy and variety to the on-stage performance.
Variety of artistes
Earlier, patrons were treated to performances by local artistes Priceless, Banco Bizmol, Monae, Sister Joyce, and Revelation Deh Royal. Each of the supporting artistes had their own crowd following.
The hyped lyrics of Skillibeng and the conscious music of Jah Vinci also added to the flavour of an unforgettable night on Tortola.
Patrons were pleasantly surprised by the performance of Pressure and particularly gravitated and gyrated to his song, ‘Virgin Islands Nice’.
Premier Wheatley takes to stage!
Premier and Minister of Finance, with the portfolio for Tourism, also took to the stage but just to give a few words.
“It’s good to have a legend in the house…God is the Greatest,” Dr Wheatley, who had received severe criticism from some members of society for sponsoring the show, remarked.
The show was reportedly violence-free and well-organised, except for a few hiccups with the microphone system.
In the end, despite all the resistance to the show by some persons in the community, the event has been hailed by many of those who attended as a success.

Waste of time, and our well needed finance, too.
SOUND JUST LIKE THOSE CELEBRITIES WHO THANK GOD FOR AWARDS WHILE PROMOTING SEX, DRUGS, KILLING, ETC.
IT IS BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!
Isaiah's book begins with the Lord making a case in a kind of lawsuit or arraignment against His people Israel. God serves as both the prosecutor and the judge. He is laying out many of the ways in which the people of Israel have violated their covenant with the Lord (Isaiah 1:2).
After calling the heavens and earth to serve as witnesses or jurors, the Lord sums up the charges: He has brought up Israel as His children, and they have rebelled against Him. Even stubborn donkeys understand who provides their food, but the people of Israel seem to lack this understanding, instead attempting to push away the One who gives them all they need to survive (Isaiah 1:3).
At this point in her history, Israel is a nation saturated with iniquity. Each generation is born from evildoers and continues their corruption. By their sinfulness, they have estranged themselves from the Holy One of Israel, despising and forsaking Him (Isaiah 1:4).
Isaiah asks why his people appear to want to be destroyed. Why else would they continue to live in rebellion? He describes the state of the nation as a kind of spiritual sickness. The head is sick, the heart faint, and the body is unsound. Even though covered with bruises, sores, and open wounds, she will not treat any of her injuries. The nation goes on as if nothing is wrong (Isaiah 1:5–6).
That spiritual sickness has the nation on the path to physical destruction. Isaiah describes a time in Israel's future as if God's judgment has already fallen. The country has been decimated, and the cities are burned to the ground. Invading foreigners have destroyed everything in their path. The once great city of Jerusalem will fall like a hut in an unprotected field (Isaiah 1:7–8).
Isaiah adds that if God had not spared a remnant of survivors, Israel would have been driven into extinction as Sodom and Gomorrah were (Isaiah 1:9–10).
Isaiah begins to quote the Lord, who is not impressed with the offerings and sacrifices of the people of Judah. Their offerings, incense, and celebrations are meaningless and a burden to the Lord because of the rebellion and sinfulness in their hearts (Isaiah 1:11-15).
The Lord tells the people to clean themselves by ending their sinful practices and beginning to do the good work of caring for the poor and the powerless among them. God promises to turn the stains of their sin as white as snow if they will repent. They will eat the "good of the land" if they obey. But If they refuse, they will become the food of the enemy's swords. (Isaiah 1:16-20)
The once faithful city of Jerusalem was known for its justice. Now it has become like a prostitute by worshiping false gods. It has become famous for its injustice. Murderers walk free. The city's leaders hang out with thieves. Everything runs on bribes and corruption, leaving no hope for orphans and widows to receive justice (Isaiah 1:21-23).
The Lord will remove the unfaithful from Israel, however. He will restore justice to Jerusalem. Those who repent will be redeemed. Those who do not will be broken and consumed (Isaiah 1:24-31).
Hope the show was worth the two hundred fifty thousand dollars while people in the rated programme still waiting to be paid. Local vendors to be paid struggling families can't pay rent much less buy food. Anyway the saying says when you find an @&& ride it and ride it well
Stay away cause they are smart.Hes always making sure his willy is still there through the performance.. so weird
Question though, how is it that sooooooo many people wanted to see Steve fail? This is our son of the soil, why we can't be happy for a brother who is trying? REMEMBER WHAT WE SOW, THAT WE SHALL ALSO REAP. And what don't catch you as the sower, it WILL CATCH your child or children. Careful how we move on this earth. Karma IS REAL.
Whats under meh nose?
