Dancehall prodigy Vybz Kartel reported ink a deal with a gay rights Organization to stop performing anti-gay music.
According to the Afro-Caribbean association for the struggle against all forms of racism, homophobia and aids in France, are that deejay Vybz Kartel has signed the Reggae Compassionate Act which calls for the artiste to halt all anti-homophobic lyrics or statements.
Kartel who recently completed a successful tour of Europe, allegedly signed the deal with the gay rights group to stop them from pressuring promoters to cancel his shows in some sections of Europe.
Representatives from the group said they will be watching the Portmore Empire artist if he will deny signing the deal and continue preaching anti-gay lyrics.
The below image is the evidence the group put forward to show that Vybz Kartel himself signed the deal. In both signatures of Vybz Kartel and Adidja Palmer.
Do you think the evidence is authentic?..
Kartel performed at the Elysée-Montmartre in France in late September and according to the release on www.tjenbered.fr, attempts to stop the concert were being made by Ian Brossat, chair of the group of communist and Left Party elected representatives on Paris city council, counsellor for the 18th district, who had moved for a formal request to be sent to the capitals Prefect of Police asking him to consider the risks to public order which might be provoked by the singers concert in the district.
It is alleged that after Kartel signed the Reggae Compassionate Act, the request was withdrawn in relation to this concert.
In 2007, gay groups in the US and Europe drafted the Reggae Compassionate Act, which called on dancehall acts to be more tolerant to homosexuals.
For years, protests from gay activists have dogged the careers of Jamaican artistes internationally. Deejay Shabba Ranks experienced the backlash after responding to a question about Buju Bantons Boom Bye Bye. Buju himself has been plagued across the globe with banned concerts since doing that song, while others such as Beenie Man, TOK., Capleton, Sizzla and Elephant Man have experienced similar pressure.
