“Addi [Vybz Kartel] is holding up strong in the face of this injustice,” the rep told us. “All this talk of suicide are false rumors people aligned to the system are spreading in the media. All clean heart people know that Di Teacha innocent and the fans them support stronger than ever. We are appealing this conviction and we are confident Teacha will walk free.”

The rep also told us that Vybz Kartel’s baby mother Tanesha “Shorty” Johnson visited him in prison earlier this week.

Kartel, real name Adidja Palmer, along with Shawn “Storm” Campbell, Andre St John, and Kahira Jones were all convicted of the murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams.

Vybz Kartel will be 73 years old when he is eligible for parole.
