Directors of Public Prosecutions Paula Llewellyn cited Vybz Kartel’s appeal as the reason for dropping the case against the dancehall artist.

The charges stemmed from an incident in 2011 where Gaza Slim, real name Vanessa Saddler made a false police report claiming that she was robbed by a man name Clive Williams.

Cops say she fabricated the story with the help of Vybz Kartel, real name Adidja Palmer, and Henry.
