Popular Dancehall Artist Convicted Of Murder

Popular dancehall artist Vybz Kartel has been convicted of murder after a lengthy and high-profile trial. Kartel and three others were found Guilty by a Kingston Supreme Court jury in the October 2011 killing of Clive “Lizard” Williams.

Clive “Lizard” Williams was lured to Kartel’s home then killed and chopped up so his body would never be found. Kartel was also under investigation for the murder of businessman Barrington “Bossy” Burton in 2011 but not brought up on charges when the case folded.

Kartel made headlines last year when he used skin bleaching cream to lighten his skin. He called it the equivalent to other forms of outer appearance enhancers like tanning.

“You can expect the unexpected. I feel comfortable with black people lightening their skin. They want a different look. It’s tantamount to white people getting a sun tan.”

In other skin lightening news, Whitenicious spokesperson Dencia will be taking her lightened skin to OWN for commentary on Oprah’s latest controversial documentary “Light Girls.”
