The FIX Podcast is ending 2024 on a high note, cementing its place in Caribbean media history with the most-watched Vybz Kartel interview since his release from prison. The interview, aptly titled “Vybz Kartel UNLEASHED,” has amassed over 837,000 views within just four days, surpassing TVJ’s Entertainment Report, which previously held the record with 805,000 views in a month. The milestone is a testament to The FIX’s magnetic appeal and Kartel’s enduring influence as the “Worl’ Boss.”
In the groundbreaking interview, Kartel opened up about a range of personal and professional topics that have long intrigued fans and critics alike. From his complex relationships with baby mother Tanesha “Shorty” Johnson and fiancée Sidem Öztürk to his fallout with former Gaza affiliates like Blak Ryno and Deva Bratt, the conversation left no stone unturned. Kartel also addressed allegations of animosity with Popcaan, his feud with Aidonia, and his thoughts on the enigmatic Sir P. Reflecting on his career, he shared candid insights about his relationships with Bounty Killer and Mavado, two titans instrumental in his rise to stardom.
Adding to their stellar year, The FIX has secured its third consecutive nomination for Podcast of the Year at the 3rd Annual MECA Awards, scheduled for February 2025. Co-host Orane ‘Naro’ Hart expressed his gratitude for the recognition, saying, “We’re feeling elated and thankful to again be recognised as one of the best podcasts around. Congrats to the other nominees, especially the H-Cue Podcast for their first nomination. Above all else, we want to continue to be seen as a platform that elevates and highlights young creatives within the new media space.”
With over 14 million views in 2024 and a loyal following of 600,000 subscribers across 12 platforms, The FIX continues to dominate the Caribbean digital media landscape. Their consistency and ability to deliver riveting content have earned praise from industry veterans like Skatta Burrell, who applauded their “calibre of interviews.” As voting for the MECA Awards intensifies, The FIX stands out as the frontrunner, showcasing not just their influence but their pivotal role in elevating Caribbean media to global standards.
