Over the weekend, dancehall superstar Vybz Kartel caused a stir across social media when he arrived in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, sparking excitement among Vincentians eager to catch a glimpse of the entertainer on their island.
Kartel first hinted at his visit by sharing a clip on Instagram of himself boarding a private jet. It wasn’t long before fans connected the dots, realizing that the dancehall legend had landed at Argyle International Airport.
The buzz continued as Kartel shared another video later in the day, this time giving fans a sneak peek into his workout routine. But the real excitement unfolded moments ago, when Kartel crossed paths with Vincentian soca sensation Shertz “Problem Child” James.
The two artists met this morning (August 18) at Be Fit Movement Gym in St. Vincent, where Kartel could be seen enjoying Problem Child’s hit song “Holiday” during their interaction.
Problem Child, a successive winner of Road March titles and a regionally acclaimed songwriter, has penned songs for some of the biggest names in soca, including Trinidadian stars Patrice Roberts and Shal Marshall. He is widely regarded as one of the best lyricists to emerge from St. Vincent and the Grenadines, a sentiment echoed by his impressive body of work and continued success.
The meeting of these two talented lyricists has only added to the excitement surrounding Kartel’s presence on the island, making it a moment to remember for fans of both dancehall and soca music.
