‘A Traitor Dem!’ Vybz Kartel Rubbishes Jamaican Gov’t’s Current Covid Measures
Dancehall artist Vybz Kartel thinks the COVID measures put in place by the government of Jamaica is just another means of “basic domination of the masses” and “Slavery 2.0” as he calls it in a recent Instagram post.
Adidja Azim Palmer, aka Vybz Kartel, has always been the outspoken type and a well-known advocate for the inner city folks that are usually overlooked in society. He posted a video clip a few days ago of a woman expressing perplexity regarding the current curfew hours. This comes on the heels of the latest announcement from the Prime Minister to tighten the curfew hours.
Due to the increased number of cases reported across the island, the curfew will now commence at 8:00 p.m. instead of 10:00 p.m. nightly and end at 5:00 a.m. the following morning. The new changes took effect on Wednesday (February 10) and will end on February 24, 2021.
In the IG clip Kartel shared, the woman said, “The curfew a foolinish … Corona nuh walk a day? A daytime everybody bungle up, is a mess in a town. Night time we fi leave the road, why? Corona nuh walk a night?” asking her questions rhetorically to drive her point that implementing a curfew at night will not affect the change in the spread of the virus.
Vybz on the other hand had a different rationalization and posted his answer to the very question she asked.
“Answer: Because the system run by Bakras & Boasty Slaves… Puppets for the western powers … & overall common criminals.” He said, to insinuate that the local government was just following suit to a higher command, the western world (Europe, Northern America and Australasia) and in the process have positioned themselves like common criminals in their own society by holding back the people and restricting their livelihood.
He explained this further, “When is not limiting access to education, employment, basic stuff like roads electricity & running water, or even our pursuit of wealth, its limiting we very physical movement, disrupting the ppls economic lifeline.”
This the deejay sums up as “basic domination of the Masses. Slavery 2.0. A traitor dem!”
Though the Worl’ Boss tends to keep things light on social media, typically groveling in his own music and the fans reaction to it, every now and then you can expect him to tap into what’s going on in the streets and fully speak his mind on any injustice he feels needs his input.
