Vybz Kartel is making the most of his fresh start after a long-awaited release from prison. Late last month, the dancehall legend emerged victorious from a 13-year legal battle, stepping back into the world with three co-defendants by his side.
Since regaining his freedom, Kartel has wasted no time in focusing on what matters most: his health. The artist, who has been battling Graves’ disease and a heart condition, has committed to an active lifestyle, recently revealing that he’s invested in exercise equipment to stay fit and healthy.
Kartel’s post-prison life isn’t just about health; it’s about reclaiming his place in music. Just days after his release, he dropped a new mixtape titled First Week Out, marking his swift return to the scene.
Alongside his music, Kartel is also commemorating his freedom in a symbolic way—a new tattoo featuring an eagle breaking free from a cage, a powerful image that mirrors his own journey out of incarceration.
Vybz Kartel’s journey is one of resilience, and his fans are eager to see what’s next for the dancehall icon as he steps into this new chapter of his life.
