Vybz Kartel drops off his new single “Hope Is A Liar.”

The single was first previewed in 2019 on the incarcerated deejay’s Adidjahiem Records label, and now fans finally have the finished product. Even though he has been behind bars for well over a decade, Vybz Kartel somehow managed to release a steady stream of new music. Although some fans believe his one dominant presence in dancehall has since simmered, the fact that he is still a hot topic of discussion in the genre is a testament to his work ethic and star power.

On his new dancehall love ballad, Kartel sings, “I hope you be fine girl/ Hope is a liar/ What yuh desire, don’t even try girl/ Gimme back me life you are a destroyer/ Look how me did love yo.”

The single comes on the heels of Vybz Kartel’s latest album, True Religion, a project which he dedicated to his fiancee Sidem Ozturk, who was recently spotted at his house his Portmore shooting a music video while being surrounded by heavily armed guards.

Kartel also recently released some new photos of himself showing off his drip behind bars. In one photo, he wore a multicolored polo shirt with ripped jeans and a fresh pair of desert Clarks. In another shot, he switched things up, wearing Jordan kicks and with light-washed ripped jeans, and a Jordan white T.

Polo G Iced Reports He Unfollowed Gunna Over Snitching Claims

Polo G addressed misleading reports on Friday, claiming that he is the latest rapper to unfollow Gunna in what appears to be a polarizing blowback in the hip-hop community because of his recent guilty plea deal in the YSL RICO case.

On Friday, reports surfaced that the “Rapstar” rapper had removed Gunna from his friends and followers list in a bid to distance himself from him due to the perception that he had violated the “street code” to never tell. However, Polo G was quick to set the record straight as he denied ever following Gunna in the first place.

“I wasn’t never followin’ him to unfollow up,” Polo G wrote on Instagram Story. “Y’all be on my d*ck.”

The rapper also wanted others to leave him out of such things noting that he doesn’t keep much company and wanted to be left alone.

“I don’t follow up behind nobody, I make my own decisions as a man and I do a good job at mindin my business,” he wrote. “U don’t see me in shit for a reason.”

In another post, he added, “I don’t fuck with n***as good or bad simple and plain.”

Gunna

Earlier this month, Gunna spoke for the first time, claiming that despite taking an Alford Plea, he has not switched sides. “N***as acting like they switching to a side,” he wrote. “But it’s only one side. #YsltheLabel #FreeThug&Yak GUNNA BACC!!!!!”

Gunna received major backlash from fans and followers who referenced the tape from his court hearing where he was asked about knowledge that YSL was a gang and to which he answered affirmatively.

Since then, many have Gunna and the seven other defendants who took plea deals “snitches” for cooperating with authorities to get out of jail while others, like his close friend Young Thug, remained in jail along with 13 others.

Among those who have unfollowed Gunna are rappers, Lil Baby and Meek Mill, while his former collaborator Lil Durk also dissed him in a new song this week. Even Wack 100 has teased that his artist is going to release a song “inspired” by the plea deal.

Dancehall Disc Jockey DJ Kentucky Charged With Rape Of 12-Y-O Girl

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Urban Islandz

Veteran dancehall disc jockey, DJ Kentucky, is facing rape charges involving a minor girl.

According to the police report, DJ Kentucky, whose real name is Shawn Stewart, was arrested on Thursday (January 19) and charged with rape following an incident involving a 12-year-old girl last year. The young girl is reportedly a student at Anchovy High School in St. James.

The victim alleges that on August 18 last year, she asked Stewart to assist her in buying a gift for her mother’s birth. DJ Kentucky allegedly told her yes and asked her to follow him to his home for the money. She said she complied, but things took a turn when inside of the disc jockey’s home. She told her parents that Steward held her and forcibly had sex with her before dropping her off at a location in downtown Montego Bay.

Her parents filed a report at the Freeport police station, and cops immediately launched a search for the disc jockey, who had not been seen since then. However, some five months later, Kentucky turned himself into the police in the company of his attorney. He was arrested and booked for rape involving a minor.

DJ Kentucky is currently awaiting his first court appearance, where his lawyer will apply for bail.

If convicted, he could face decades in prison for the crime.
