Bad vibes kill Kartel’s marriage

POPULAR dancehall deejay Vybz Kartel, who tied the knot just two years ago with New York bank supervisor, Stacy Elliott, wants out of their marriage.

In papers filed with the Jamaican Supreme Court, Kartel, whose real name is Adidjah Palmer, alleged that his 31-year-old bride had given birth to a son who was fathered by another man.

He said he had never lived with his wife since the January 9, 2006 private wedding, pictures of which are posted on the Internet. Kartel also provided for the court a copy of the child’s birth certificate.

Kartel said also that his wife never visited him in Jamaica after the US revoked his visa to that country some time after the wedding.

The two met at a stage show in Brooklyn, New York and had been dating four years prior to tying the knot in a private ceremony before a marriage officer at the Registrar General Department branch on Trevennion Park Road in Cross Roads, Kingston.

The website yardflex.com on which the wedding photos were posted, quoted the artiste on his big day as saying, “… Mi just get up mad and decide fi do it, is like mi get a wedding fever from wha day because my babymother’s mother got married recently, and I was the best man for the groom, so I just decided to do it. I flew her in from New York for the wedding, and it’s all good, I am in love, I am happy, this is just glorious.

“From the first time I met her, I knew she was special. So we talked a couple of times on the phone, it wasn’t a groupie thing, and we just fell in love little by little.”

Elliott, who was born in Jamaica, is also quoted in the same story as saying that she too was deeply in love.

“I love his personality, he is fun-loving, and very smart, and I believe he is misunderstood, he has good qualities. From the moment I met him, I fell in love with him…,” she added.
