Vybz Kartel Squashes Beef with Blak Ryno & Jah Vinci During Surprise NYC Show – Unity Takes Center Stage
In a moment that stunned fans and lit up the dancehall world, Vybz Kartel made history by squashing his long-standing beef with Blak Ryno and Jah Vinci during a surprise appearance at NYC Day 1 of his much-anticipated concert series.
The energy inside Barclays Center was already electric, but the vibe shifted into overdrive when Kartel, currently incarcerated but making his presence known through creative performances, introduced Blak Ryno and Jah Vinci on stage. Once former Gaza affiliates turned rivals, the trio’s reunion felt like a full-circle moment for fans who have followed their musical journey from the Portmore Empire days to present.
The crowd erupted as they performed classics together, proving that old wounds can heal—and in front of thousands, no less. The unexpected reunion served as a powerful statement of unity, growth, and maturity, with each artist showing respect and love on stage.
Fans are calling this one of dancehall’s most emotional moments of 2025, not just for the music, but for what it represents: reconciliation, brotherhood, and a stronger Gaza legacy moving forward.
Could this be the start of more collaborations to come? Only time will tell. But for now, NYC got a show they’ll never forget.
