Vybz Kartel has played some shows since he was released from prison last year, and he’s now announced a proper tour. The Jamaican dancehall singer will soon embark on the Worl’ Boss Tour, playing shows in Guyana, Trinidad, the United States, and elsewhere. See Vybz Kartel’s upcoming tour dates below.
Along with the tour news, Vybz Kartel released the new song “Pretty Girl.” The single arrives with a music video directed by Rizzy. Watch it below.
In September 2024, Vybz Kartel was released from prison after being convicted and sentenced to life for the 2011 murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams. In March of last year, that conviction was overturned after a court ruled that there was juror misconduct in the original trial. After appellate judges in Jamaica ruled against a retrial, Kartel was officially freed from custody come September.
“I have had so many blessings this year,” Vybz Kartel said in a press statement. “The summer is ours, and we are ready to take the world by storm, more passport stamps, more ‘Pretty Girls’ and endless possibilities.”
