Jailed dancehall star Vybz Kartel who seemingly is very active on social media took some time out to give his take on recent rumoured happenings between his student Popcaan and fellow Jamaican musician Jah Cure.
While the Worl’boss did not call any names, it’s hard to find other musicians who landed themselves in the same crisis in recent times, hence all fingers are being pointed at Poppy and the Cure by fans and dancehall insiders.
According to Kartel, the two “giant” should not be fighting over “groupie” and instead, they should “run weh di gyal” and release a new collaboration together, see his exact comments below.
Salt Spring native Al Rickjames said he reached out to Squash via Instagram in 2019 and asked Squash if him can feature him on a track. He said Squash and his Manager Atto Wallace agreed to a 3k Usd deal.
Al Rickjames said after he sent the money via wire transfer which is on record, Squash blocked him on Instagram and Atto gave him the run around for 2yrs. The Entertainer said that he despises people who scam people especially another artist who is working hard after his prison bid of 10 yrs.
In recent times we also saw Studious Ent running into similar issues with the 6ix leader and several voice notes and conversations were exposed online about that deal.

Since its inception in the 1990s, Downsound Records (DSR) has consistently sought to highlight emerging talent on its projects. Among the acts that the label has brought from obscurity to fame are Nanko, I-Maroon, Fantan Mojah and Jah Cure among others.
The label continues its thrust in highlighting newcomers with a 12-track project, the Storm Trooper rhythm. Released on February 26, this is the first rhythm project for the label in five years.
“In this period of uncertainty which is the new normal we threw out this rhythm and put some focus and emphasis behind some new talent. We look forward to seeing how they develop and the response they get,” said Downsound CEO Josef Bogdonavich.
