Enter Lisa Mercedez: Artiste says she has a spiritual connection with Vybz Kartel
Vybz Kartel’s love life is a Lifetime
movie and today’s sequel is brought to you by Lisa Mercedez. The British-based
artiste is the latest to come out and claim that Vybz Kartel is her man,
counteracting longtime spouse Tanesha ‘Shorty’ Johnson who on Monday took to
social media to declare that she is his ‘First Lady’, days after Lisa Hyper
embraced that title.
During a recent Instagram live with DJ Lava (whointerviewed Hyper last week when this drama series started), fans askedMercedez to identify her new boyfriend, since she’s no longer with deejay StyloG.
“My man is Adidja Azim
Palmer,” Mercedez said before spelling each name. “Vybz Kartel, A.K.A
World Boss, yeah. Somebody seh mi need a man, mi nuh need a man, mi have mi man
and mi loyal to the core, ride or die.”
Hyper was noticeably in the
comments, and asked, “Whampn to Stylo G Mumma?”. Other viewers
accused Mercedez of being delusional since she has never physically met the
incarcerated deejay.
“It’s not a delusional
thing,” she said. “Lava mi can ask yuh something? Yuh ever talk to a
girl yet and yuh just have this mad, spiritual connection wid har? The thing
is, yuh nah fi meet somebody to have that spiritual connection and it just
feels like you and da person deh did deh in a next lifetime? A da connection
deh mi have wid Vybz Kartel… so sometimes people might seh, ‘oh, she nuh meet
him yet’ and rae rae but mi a go meet him soon cause mi cya wait fi di corona
done and everything. Straight a Jamaica mi a go.”
Earlier this week, Johnson
dismissed her partner’s other love interests, stating she is the only one who
has access to his bank accounts. Hyper challenged that in a subsequent live
video, and Mercedez is up next.

“Vybz Kartel A.K.A World
Boss, there’s a reason why him name World Boss. Mi live a England; mi go a di
bank inna di UK.”
She added that she need not
assign herself a title, as she is confident about where she stands in his life.
It is difficult to digest this
online love triangle without considering the respective projects each artiste
has underway. Kartel is set to release his Of
Dons and Divas album on June 26, which will bear features from Hyper and
Mercedez. Hyper is set to release her Phoenix
album in July, and Mercedez is gearing to drop her Drama Free EP in July.
Johnson’s role? Her Short Boss Muzik label serves as co-producer on Kartel’s
project. Could this all be a publicity stunt to build anticipation for these
projects?
Only time will tell.
