Kenyan fans of Jamaican star Vybz Kartel have reacted with excitement after his release from prison. He was freed along with three co-accused after the Jamaican court of appeal ordered their release.

The 'Summertime' hitmaker had been behind bars for years, convicted of the 2014 murder of Clive "Lizard" Williams and sentenced to life in prison.

In March 2024, his murder conviction was overturned, pending a decision from Jamaican authorities on whether the case would be retried. By July 2024, he was set free.

Kenyan fans have eagerly responded to the news, with many urging event organizers to bring him to Kenya.
