The recent case of Vybz Kartel being banned from St. Lucia is now under investigation by the Jamaican government.
According to Wilton Dyer the ban that was imposed by the St. Lucian authorities might be a breach of the CARICOM free movement which applies to artistes, musicians and sports persons.
Several industry insiders believe its time for Jamaican artistes and musicians to unite and fight these ridiculous bans that are coming one behind the other.
The latest Caribbean country to reject Jamaican dancehall artistes from performing in their country is Triniday & Tobago.
Kartel is either banned most likely because of his lyrics/ who he associates himself with/ things he promotes, 'violence, alcohol consumption, killing of gays (I don't like gays but u don't need to talk bout killing them)... there's a reason for it, if i was a governor/leader of one of these places i woulda ban him too unless there's a certain selection of tunes laid out that he CAN'T perform, which is how i would also go about it... I'm not bias or anything like that. But if u banned, there IS a REASON.
