‘Shorty’ Johnson usually avoids the limelight, but this month has seen the

long-term spouse of Vybz Kartel sharing bits of her personal life on social

media.

Mother

to three of Kartel’s children, Johnson opened up about her history with the incarcerated

deejay, whom she first met at the now defunct Cactus Nightclub in Portmore, St

Catherine.

“Mi

and mi friend did deh deh one Friday night, and him and about two a him friend

dem…him send di yute name Exie come call mi. Mi seh listen, him waan mi, him

fi come to me,” Johnson said on DJ Lava’s Chat & Laugh Instagramseries last night. “Mi never know who him be, him never buss yet.”

The

two hit it off and have been inseparable since, though the relationship has

endured rocky times. On Kartel’s January album, To Tanesha (which her Short Boss Musik Label co-produced), he

chronicles their tumultuous relationship which she said was inspired by

constant arguing and his decision to leave the relationship. She added that

their disputes have often gotten physical.

“The

two a we head hot, none a we nuh tek chat,” she said. “Mi a nuh

‘Yamabella’ enuh. Mi nah back…all pon the table mi stand up, mi nah

back.”

Between

smashing car windows and uprooting a whole house, Johnson shared the time she

actually stabbed him in his side, which he deejayed about on his 2009 song Love Dem.

“Me

and him did inna one argument and mi deh a di house…him drive out fi go a di

studio and mi text him fi tell him seh mi a go a my yard,” she said.

“Mi drive out, gone a my yard and ting…is like one mind seh tek a taxi

go back a di yard. After me call the taxi, mi go di yard cause mi have mi owna

key. Him come, him never see di car so him tink seh mi nuh deh deh.”

As

he exited the vehicle, Johnson heard a female’s voice.

“Mi

nuh badda give him nuh time fi pull the house door, mi just run out pon him wid

mi ice pick… the girl run gone dung di road…so him haffi end up get weh she fi

get.”

He

was taken to the Andrews Memorial Hospital by Gaza member Shawn Storm, where he

received seven stitches. Johnson said he called her mother upon being

discharged, as he wanted her to come home. Johnson said her mother, now

deceased, would be the one he would run to each time he tried to make amends.

She

added that he has even shed tears over her.

“Mi

swear pon mi son dem life…(him cry) regular…and mi tek my son dem life

serious. When mi seh cry over, eye water a run.”

Another

intimate detail shared about their union was the death of their baby girl.

“Nuff

people nuh know before mi have mi last son, mi did pregnant before dat and have

a baby six months and two weeks. Baby born and dead, was a girl.”

Johnson

is currently working on releasing new music from UTG (comprising sons Likkle

Vybz and Likkle Addi) as well as Shaniel Muir. She is also currently shooting

episodes for a reality series dubbed ThePalmers. Years ago Kartel led the popular television series Teacha’s Pet which saw women fromdifferent countries vying for his love.
