Chronixx Calls Vybz Kartel A Cannibal

Chronixx is perhaps the first reggae artists out of Jamaica to openly criticized Vybz Kartel influenced on impact on dancehall music.

Kartel, who is currently incarcerated, is perhaps the most popular artists in dancehall at over the last decade or so. Chronixx is also a rising star on the other side of the fence with his more socially conscious lyrical content.

The outspoken singer appeared on Noisey recent episode aired on Tuesday night where he opened up about violence in Jamaican music and society, where he singled out Vybz Kartel.

“Vybz Kartel himself has done a lot of good things in life, I must say,” Chronixx laments. “Gangsterism, cannibalism… because Vybz Kartel overtime became a cannibal. When you listen to his music it is very cannibalistic. It became so pleasant to the human that there is a thing within us that crazes chopping up people and beheading people and cut out a man inside.”

Vybz Kartel was convicted of murder in 2014 for the death of his associate Clive “Lizard” Williams. A voicenote from the deejay’s Blackberry phone served as key evidence where he allegedly discussed chopping up Lizard in small pieces and disposed of his remains at sea.

Williams body has still not being found.

The dancehall star is appealing the conviction.
