Dancehall superstar Vybz Kartel has recently been the subject of intense online discussion following his release from prison. The stark contrast between his pre-imprisonment and post-release photos has sparked widespread curiosity and concern about his health.
Kartel’s freedom came after a successful appeal against his 2014 murder conviction. The court cited his deteriorating health as a key factor in its decision, highlighting the harsh prison conditions that had exacerbated his medical issues. His lawyer previously revealed that Kartel suffered from two heart conditions, complications, and a possible case of Graves’ disease, a condition that often causes weight gain and other physical changes.
