In a stunning turn of events, dancehall superstar Vybz Kartel has been declared free by the Jamaican Court of Appeal.
The controversial artist, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, and three co-accused have been acquitted of murder charges. This is bringing an end to a nearly 13-year legal battle. The Court of Appeal’s decision, delivered just a day before Jamaica celebrates Emancipation Day, has sent shockwaves through the nation and the global music industry. Kartel’s imprisonment in 2011 on murder charges had been a high-profile case that captivated the public.
The dancehall icon has consistently maintained his innocence throughout the ordeal. Through this, his supporters have rallied behind him, and his music has continued to enjoy widespread popularity even from behind bars.
The details surrounding the Court of Appeal’s decision are still emerging. However, the ruling marks a significant victory for Kartel and his legal team.
