Vybz Kartel’s hefty booking fee has triggered outrage in St. Kitts after he was reportedly paid $4 million to perform at a highly anticipated show.

According to Times Caribbean, the programme provided…

Dancehall star Shenseea is raising some eyebrows after revealing in a recent livestream that she was “taken advantage of” during the early stages of her career.

While Reggae Sumfest organisers were apparently able to meet Shenseea’s personal fee, she claims they…
