Vybz Kartel Issues Statement About His New Hairstyle

If you haven’t seen it for yourself, or heard of the controversy being caused by Vybz Kartel’s new hairstyle (pictures below), then you probably are one of the the many disillusioned dancehall fans who don’t understand the genre’s seemingly new path, so somehow this latest development missed you. An audio clip featuring Kartel explaining himself surfaced soon after the pictures, and now he has issued a release (via email to Dancehall.Mobi) dismissing the controversy as just ‘badmind’. See below:

“First off I’d 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 extensions then, why didn’t the hullabaloo commence then? Because I wasn’t on top, so the hating wasn’t necessary. When I did “Never Love Another Girl” video in 2005, my hair was permed, why didn’t the inquisition commence? Because I wasn’t on top, so the hating wasn’t necessary … what I’m saying is that when you’re on top, people find all kinds of faults and flaws to point out in their quest to tear you down but guess what. I couldn’t care less what people say or think about Kartel, because if everyone loves you, you’re 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 extensions put in. Talk bout that.”
