Top-flight entertainer Vybz Kartel, who has been very active on the social circuit in recent weeks, is now on the mend following a health scare that left him ill while partying at a popular nightclub in Kingston on Monday night. The artist, who has been a prevalent figure in dancehall for years, was spotted being assisted out of the venue, sparking concern among fans. Videos circulating on social media show patrons attempting to offer the deejay support as he sat on the rails, looking visibly weak. The club’s DJ could be heard asking the crowd to clear the area and give the artist space.
Sources close to Kartel have since reassured the public that the entertainer is “doing fine” after the incident. However, many are still concerned, given the artist’s ongoing health struggles. In 2023, it was revealed that Kartel had been diagnosed with Graves’ disease, an autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid. The condition can lead to serious complications if not properly managed. Along with Graves’ disease, Kartel has also been reportedly dealing with heart-related health issues, further fueling speculation about his well-being.
Graves’ disease, which leads to the overproduction of thyroid hormones, can cause a range of symptoms, including bulging eyes, excessive sweating, and, in severe cases, heart problems. Despite these challenges, Kartel has remained active in the music scene, continuing to release music and engage with fans. Monday’s incident, though unsettling, serves as a reminder of the importance of managing chronic health conditions. For now, fans can breathe a sigh of relief, as the “Worl’ Boss” is expected to make a full recovery.
