Self-proclaimed Dancehall hero, Adidja Vybz Kartel Palmer has vehemently denied that he has contracted the deadly HIV virus.

Kartels denial is in response to rampant rumors over the past few days that the Portmore empire deejay had gotten the disease following intercourse with a female who had previously contracted the sexually transmitted disease. There were even rumors that Kartels mentor turned nemesis, Bounty Killer had paid said girl to ensure that Kartel transmitted the same HIV disease that she had.

But Vybz Kartel has not publicly rubbished such claims; telling the Jamaica STAR, "There's no truth whatsoever to that statement. That's just frivolity on behalf of some unscrupulous clowns. What I'm interested to know is why they would wanna start a rumor about HIV when they know that I've copulated with their moms, sisters, aunts, girlfriends and all the other females in their pathetic little insignificant life.
