vybz_kartelJamaican dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel has been barred from performing in Grenada because of his raunchy lyrics.
Kartel, whose real name is Adija Palmer, was forced to cancel a May 2 concert planned to coincide with the local launch of his line of condoms, labelled ‘Daggering’.
They are already being marketed in Jamaica.
Junior health minister Ann Peters said the government denied the artiste a performance permit, because of concerns over lyrics that seem to promote violence.
But concert promoter Dexter Tillock defended Kartel’s music, saying his most recent work includes positive message and emphasizes respect for women.
He also said he is considering legal action against the Grenada government, to recoup thousands of dollars in losses.
