YOLO Promotions has secured Vybz Kartel for March 2025 VI concert
Firstly, the malicious lies spread by Rosemary L. Rosan aka ‘Cindy’ in her tabloid, Guavaberry Media, that the Government of the Virgin Islands via the Premier and Minister of Finance Dr the Hon Natalio D. Wheatley (R7) was hosting and ‘squandering more funds on partying’ turned out to be lies.
The truth shall set you fee
Virgin Islands News Online set the record straight in a recent article dated October 4, 2024, with the facts which have now been confirmed by members of YOLO Promotions, including Steve E. Parillon, Tishaun Glasgow aka ‘DJ Taz’ and Craig C. Lloyd aka ‘DJ Mac Milli’.
Yolo Promotions is the host of the Vybz Kartel show set for March 2025.
In keeping with sponsoring events like One VI Music Festival, BVI Spring Regatta & Sailing Festival, Anegada Lobster Festival, Poker Runs, BVI Charter Yachts Boat Shows, A Taste of Virgin Gorda, BVI Wreck Week, Caribbean Baking Awards, and various basketball tournaments, Dr Wheatley has granted YOLO Promotions a sponsorship; however, the Government is not the host or is ‘bringing Vybz Kartel’.
Other misinformation written by Ms Rosan was that the amount given was ‘close to a million dollars’. This again is false, as the Premier granted a sponsorship of two hundred and twenty thousand dollars ($220,000), which is far from a million dollars.
Steve Speaks
Speaking exclusively to Virgin Islands News Online, Mr Parillon, a businessman and schoolteacher, said: “It was a process in getting this show and I have been in the entertainment business for a long time and I have good relationships, which have helped me in locking down this concert.”
Mr Parillon noted that Vybz Kartel is locked in for March 2025 on Tortola and that the concert, which will be held at an outdoor venue, is expected to be “one of the biggest events here in the BVI.”
He noted that feedback has been overwhelming, along with many inbox messages and Facebook shares. Mr Parillon stated that this is going to be a big economic boost for the BVI, since “the BVI is dead and the economy is stagnant”. He urged residents to "come out of your feelings about the Premier."
When asked how this would boost the local economy, Mr Parillon said: “it will mean money for car rentals, flights to the BVI, hotels, barbershops and salons, ferry services... so many benefits out of this concert,” he opined. Parillon noted that Vybz Kartel has a broad appeal and he said he was happy to be able to deliver this big concert for the BVI.
Other countries in the region, like Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados, have already booked the dancehall super star. His first concert is expected to be in his homeland of Jamaica later this year.
