Vybz Kartel is presently the most controversial Dancehall artiste. He recently sent out a statement after the backlash from his new hairstyle. Here is what he reportedly said:
“FIRST OFF ID LIKE TO SAY THAT ALL THE FUSS ABOUT MY HAIR,AS WITH EVERY OTHER THING THAT I DO HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING EXCEPT PLAIN OLD “BADMIND”.BECAUSE WHEN I WAS INVOLVED IN THE NINJA MAN INCIDENT A FEW YEARS AGO, I HAD IN EXTENTIONS THEN,WHY DIDNT THE HULLABALOO COMMENCE THEN,?BECAUSE I WASN’T ON TOP SO THE HATING WASNT NECESSARY.WHEN I DID “NEVER LOVE ANOTHER GIRL” VIDEO IN 2005,MY HAIR WAS PERMED,WHY DIDNT THE INQUISITION COMMENCE?BECAUSE I WASN’T ON TOP SO THE HATING WASNT NECESSARY…WHAT IM SAYING IS THAT WHEN UR ON TOP,PEOPLE FIND ALL KINDS OF FAULTS AND FLAWS TO POINT OUT IN THEIR QUEST TO TEAR YOU DOWN BUT GUESS WHAT. I COUDNT CARE LESS WHAT PEOPLE SAY OR THINK ABOUT KARTEL BECAUSE IF EVERYONE LOVES YOU,UR AN OBVIOUS “KISS ASS” .P.S. MAVADO,ELEPHANT MAN,MACHEL MONTANO(who’s hair is done by the same girl who did mine) I OCTANE T.O.K. ETC HAVE ALL HAD EXTENTION PUT IN.TALK BOUT THAT”
Well some of the artistes he mentioned was angered by Vybz Kartel associating them with “extensions” because you know bad man doh wear weave, right? And I would be mad too…why mentioned other people name in your drama to make your case look good? Anyhoo…here’s the responses from both T.O.K. and I-Octane who have denied those claims:
Bay-C of T.O.K -
‘To all who seem to be confused, T.O.K. has never worn extensions. To each his own, it’s not for me to judge. Having said that, make it clear … mi a Rasta! Lion of the tribe of Judah! Don’t confuse the mane of a lion with the tail of a horse! Bombrush dem!’
Alex of T.O.K. -
“To all those who seem confused TOK has NEVER worn extentions in our hair. All of what u see is natural cuz hair tends to grow if u been doing it over 10years. Don’t mix we up. Each person is their own boss so u have a choice. We chose natural no horse hair etc. Mi nuh dehhh pon datttt. Straight. Only woman wear extention.”
I-Octane -
“I can’t control what another artiste chooses to say,” I-Octane stated. “But I’ve been growing my locks for several years now and the people at Jus Natural in Portmore can vouch for that…..In this industry you come to expect that people will do and
say anything. Is music mi a deal with and I won’t allow anyone to shift my focus from that. As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t make sense for me to spend a lotof time thinking or even talking about this issue. Jah teach me that you empower
what you focus on, and as mi seh, music is my focus. Nobody can draw me out or try to involve me inna mix up. Anyone who has been following my career can look at me through the years and see that my locks grow natural. Its not an overnight thing. As a matter of fact, people a suffer all over the world. Mek wi focus on dem type a tings.”
