Vybz Kartel’s Triumphant Return To The United States

Written by on February 2, 2025

(ReggaeVibeMedia.com) – In a landmark moment for dancehall music, the “Worl’ Boss” himself, Vybz Kartel, has made a triumphant return to the United States after a two-decade absence. The artist’s U.S. visa, revoked in 2005, has been reinstated, allowing him to touch down in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, much to the delight of his fans.

Upon arrival, Kartel was greeted by a throng of enthusiastic supporters, their excitement palpable as they welcomed the dancehall icon back to American soil. In a heartfelt address, Kartel expressed his gratitude, stating, “People, let me tell unnu something, God is the greatest and nothing beat time. Always remember to do good, and good will follow you. God is the greatest. Big up that kind gentleman at the embassy.” He specifically acknowledged an individual at the U.S. Embassy in Kingston who offered words of encouragement during his visa application process.

Accompanied by his fiancรฉe, Sidem Ozturk, and key members of his management team, including Skatta Burrell, Kartel’s return has ignited speculation about potential performances and appearances across the U.S. Notably, there is buzz about his possible attendance at the upcoming Grammy Awards, where his album Party With Me is nominated for Best Reggae Album.

This significant development follows a landmark ruling by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in England, which overturned Kartelโ€™s previous conviction. Since his release, he has been actively re-engaging with the music scene, culminating in a historic performance at the Freedom Street concert on New Yearโ€™s Eve in Kingston.

Vybz Kartel’s return to the U.S. not only marks a personal victory but also signifies a new chapter in his illustrious career, promising renewed energy and contributions to the dancehall and reggae genres.
