Vybz Kartel Says Tommy Lee And Popcaan Are “Opportunist” [DETAILS]

Portmore Empire former boss Vybz Kartel is in the news again for feuding with his ex-protégés.

Yesterday a statement was sent to Urban Islandz inbox allegedly from Gaza Slim and penned by Vybz Kartel, accusing both Tommy Lee and Popcaan of being opportunist. The alleged statement was also sent to Anthony Miller of TVJ’s Entertainment Report.

Tommy Lee and Popcaan, who are arguably two of the hottest deejays in dancehall right now, are known to use the slang ‘Gaza’ despite the group being dissolved by Vybz Kartel. According to the self proclaim world boss, they are just using the gaza name to push their careers forward. Vybz Kartel also questioned their loyalty to him, who is the chief architect of their blossoming careers.

“I just want u to let the people know that all a dem runnin’ aroun’ sayin’ ‘Gaza, Gaza’ are not real,” Vybz Kartel said in the statement. “Before I came here we were ‘good.’ No animosity, but within a week of my arrest, they started giving other people managerial and booking positions. But where were these people when I was building their careers? When I was investing time and money to transform them from nobody to somebody? They are opportunists and fake. I’m not surprised because this is Dancehall and I have no problem with them making their money. But I jus’ don’t want them to be all over the place exploiting a movement that I built with blood sweat and tears when they and I know they aren’t real. I want them to stop. The only two loyal people are Slim and Sheba (the girls) and maybe it’s because they haven’t fully realized their potential.”

Do you think Popcaan and Tommy Lee are disloyal to Vybz Kartel?

    Um, I guess that makes him (Kartel) an opportunist and fake too, cuz Bounty invested time and money to transform him from a ‘nobody to somebody’….n they aren’t being disloyal, in fact, that’s being loyal to their careers and personal responsibilities…Kartel nuh get it seh him behind bars! People affi eat a bread…n Tommy lee not exploiting nuh “gaza” di man seh “sparta” straight lolz….I don’t see an issue here..i think someone is feeling a bit upstaged and jealous ^___^…..which isn’t necessary cuz there’s enough room in dancehall for all of em…chill out Addi…

  17. Every-man need to eat food, no man don’t want to be control by nobody so a man have to accept the thing because youth a look them own. Kartet use-to follow Bounty and him leave and tunn-up the thing well a that the youth them waaa do, tunn-up them own thing, never you try to control youth.

  18. popcaan a work right. vybzkartel good ina jail. life is now

  19. THEY ARE NOT DIS LOYAL. VYBES CANT MANAGE AN BOOK THEM FROM BEHIND BARS AND THE YOUTH THEM NEED TO EAT FOOD SO TO SPEAK. KARTEL FI MEK D MAN DEM EAT FOOD AND STOP TRY TO STOP THE YOUTH DEM FROM MEK MONEY. ME RATE POPCAAN EVEN IF HIM NA SAY GAZA. ON THE OTHER HAND… TOMMY LEE A SAY GAZA MORE AND ME NO RATE HIM AS MUCH AS PAPPY. D MAN DEM HAVE STYLE SO KARTEL FI LEF D MAN DEM MAKE DEM EAT FOOD.

  20. they are not disloyal. they cannot sit and wait for him to come out from jail when he himself does not know his faith with the law. we the Gaza fans are already disappointed with the world boss, he must be frustrated with his legal troubles and Gaza slim is becoming the biggest hypocrite of all times. go on popi, go on Tommy create your own marks.
