The FIX Podcast, Jamaica’s premier entertainment platform, has once again cemented its dominance in Caribbean media with a string of record-breaking accolades for its latest episode, Vybz Kartel UNLEASHED. Since its release on December 23, 2024, the interview has set the digital space ablaze, becoming The FIX’s most-viewed podcast episode in its 10-year history and amassing over one million views within a single week. This feat underscores The FIX’s unparalleled ability to blend cultural relevance with engaging storytelling.
The episode, featuring an unfiltered and highly anticipated sit-down with the “Worl’ Boss,” has achieved several historic milestones. It is the first podcast episode to hit one million views in Jamaica, the most-viewed video on YouTube in Jamaica for December 2024, and the most-watched Vybz Kartel interview since his release from prison. Additionally, the video premiere drew over 25,000 live viewers, setting a new benchmark for YouTube premieres in Jamaica. “We’ve always aimed to deliver compelling content, but the response to this episode has been beyond our wildest expectations,” said co-host Orane ‘Naro’ Hart.
Adding to its acclaim, the episode recorded unprecedented engagement, with likes, comments, and live chat interactions surpassing any previous Vybz Kartel interview. Fans flocked to the platform to hear Kartel address his relationships, rivalries, and career legacy in an open and candid manner. Industry veteran Skatta Burrell applauded The FIX for its achievement, noting, “Their calibre of interviews has elevated the standard for Caribbean digital media.”
As The FIX basks in this monumental success, the podcast is already gearing up for another momentous occasion—the 3rd Annual MECA Awards, where it is nominated for Podcast of the Year. With over 15 million views in 2024 alone, The FIX’s legacy as a trailblazer in the Caribbean digital space is undeniable, and its latest triumph only solidifies its standing as a global leader in new media.
