Gangster lyricist Adejah Palmer more popularly known as Vybz Kartel was given a rude awakening when his Honda Accord motor car was allegedly b****ed outside of his plush upper St Andrew home in the late hours of Sunday 24th August. According to reports from the area, a motorcycle was heard entering the road on which the Dj lives and moments later an explosion shattered the silence complimented by the sound of the motorcycle speeding off. When the OutARoad.com team arrived on the scene, the charred remains of the car were seen outside the deejays gate cooling down.
The Dj was not available for comment, but OutARoad.com team hopes that he stays safe and that there will be no repeat of this incident. It is unclear as to what were the motives behind the b****ing but OutAroad.com will keep you posted as the saga unfolds. THE police yesterday promised a thorough investigation into the burning of a Honda motor car belonging to dancehall entertainer Vybz Kartel at his home in the upscale Norbrook community in St Andrew after it was allegedly fireb****ed. This, despite a press release from the entertainer - whose real name is Adijah Palmer - that the vehicle was burnt to a crisp because of an electrical problem.
Residents of the upscale community reported hearing an explosion and a motorcycle speeding off before the vehicle was seen on fire in front of the entertainer's home.
But in a release yesterday, Palmer maintained that "the Honda had an electrical problem and the fireman came and extinguished the blaze".
"That's all, my car was not fireb****ed," he said.
The police were, however, not impressed.
"This is not something that we are going to take lightly. The investigation is ongoing as the forensic and Scene of the Crime units went to the scene to ascertain the cause of the fire," head of crime for the St Andrew North police division, acting Deputy Superintendent Altermoth 'Parra' Campbell, told the Observer yesterday.
An auto electrical engineer, who did not wish to be named, said it would be unusual for a parked vehicle to burn unless it had just been driven.
"It is unusual for that to happen when it is standing still, but it is possible if it was being used," the engineer told the Observer.
Yesterday, in commenting on the incident on his website outaroad.com, Palmer said he had nothing against fellow dancehall entertainer Mavado - an obvious reference to speculation that there is bad *lo** brewing between both artistes.
Both DJs have penned songs about each other and their respective family members.
"At the end of the day, Jamaicans should know it's just music, no physical altercation," Palmer's publicist stated. "Mi no have nothing against David. If he does against me, I don't see it."
