Vybz Kartel is making history once again—this time, by stepping onto a U.S. stage for the first time in more than two decades! The dancehall icon, known for hits like Fever, has officially reclaimed his place in the global spotlight, and fans are gearing up for a long-awaited live performance.

In a shocking turn of events, Kartel’s U.S. visa was reinstated in January, marking a dramatic comeback after years of legal battles and travel restrictions. Not only has he set foot on American soil again, but he also made a headline-grabbing appearance at the Grammy Awards, where he landed his first solo Grammy nomination—another major milestone in his storied career.

For U.S. fans, this is nothing short of a dream come true. The last time Vybz Kartel performed in America was in 2004. A year later, his visa was revoked—along with those of several other dancehall stars—amid clashes with gay rights groups. Then came his 13-year prison sentence, sealing his fate away from international stages. But now, after years of setbacks and uncertainty, the Worl’Boss is back, and the wait is finally over.

The big reveal came straight from the Barclays Center’s official X account, sending shockwaves through the dancehall community. JUST ANNOUNCED: Vybz Kartel comes to Brooklyn on April 11! the electrifying promo read. The event, Reggae Fest: The Return of Worl’Boss Vybz Kartel, is set to be one of the most talked-about concerts of the year.

For die-hard fans and newcomers alike, this is more than just a concert—it’s a cultural moment. Vybz Kartel is returning not just to the stage, but to his rightful throne.
