adminKartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, was due to stand trial at Kingston’s Home Circuit Court in the Clive “Lizard” Williams case, only to be told to return on May 27 in the matter. This as a result of an undermanned jury, which reportedly raised the ire of The Crown and Kartel’s defence team as they were ready to begin.
Having been jailed for nearly 16 months while awaiting trial, it has been a strenuous test of will for Kartel. However, the self-professed “Worl’ Boss” is letting the public know that he remains strong in spite of the wait.
According to Urban Islandz, a close source to Kartel spoke to the incarcerated deejay following the latest delay.
The source said Kartel told him: “The system a try break me but mi stand firm in the belief of the Almighty.”
The source added: “They keep putting off the case because they know Addi innocent and they probably want find more things to charge him with.”
On Wednesday, Michael Dawson, the co-author of Kartel’s book, “Voice of the Jamaican Ghetto”, took to Kartel’s official Twitter page to “set di ting straight”, about the deejay’s prison situation, among other topics.
According to Dawson, Kartel is “in good spirits when I last visited him. Staying away from meat right now. Praying, meditating reading Garvey. Faith tun up.”
He also passed along a message from Kartel to his legions of fans.
“Keep ya head, me good. Stay strong. I am strong. I miss my family, I miss my fans. Support dancehall cuz the system a fight it.” – The Examiner.
