While Vybz Kartel and Mavado are not on good terms in Jamaica, the remix of ‘Gangsta’ by French producers Daddy & Hypa (D&H) is fast becoming a monster hit in France. The remix features Mavado, Vybz Kartel and newcomer Delus. You can listen to the Gangsta remix on the OutAroad music player on the right.
However, what we are here to discuss today is the feud between Mavado and Vybz - is it real or fake?
OutAroad.com team went on the street and these are the views of the people.
Jahmel Francis, Security, Age: 29
Mavado and Vybz Kartel have some personally issues going on, down to even the little kids them can tell that they are not friends. What I would love to know - were they real gangsters before them become entertainers? Them need fi pick which one them want to be because we can’t have kids looking up to them as role models, it might sounds crazy but a lot of teenagers look up to them.
Wayne, Conductor, Age: 28
Mi love dancehall music and mi love see a little clashing gwaan more time but from what mi see taking place since of late, the thing seems as if it’s turning into a gang war. Look how long Beenie Man and Bounty a clash and yuh never see them physically war each other. The only feud that I believed is fake is the feud between Beenie Man and Bounty.
Barbara Hutchinson, Un-employed, Age: 32
With all the good things that are happening for Jamaica internationally, we don’t need this kind of negative vibes fi come steal the spotlight that was given onto us by our strong and hard working athletic team. I do not listen their songs but I listen the news and at least once or two times a year them headline the news.

Anyone who thinks that these two are friends must be from another planet. How can this be fake when they are telling each other to s**k mother and who sex whose girl, isn’t that a bit too personal. In a real life not even you own cousin can tell you to s**k out your mother and get away with that. I love some of their songs but I am not going to like it when it gets too personal. Kartel and Mavado much more intelligent than that.
Alicia Fraser, Student, Age: 17
I think the feud between Kartel and Mavado is real in some way. So many incidents took place that would let anyone thinks that this is not just war of words but as real as Tupac and Biggie. Moreover, if they continued behaving like this both or one of them is going to go under the earth.

the man dem over do it mi nuh si nothing bad happen suh mi would love fi si di man get back to dem usual ways
Posted on August 27, 2008 10:28
by now the world know that this is joking feud this getting realer than we thought and what hurt me so much is to see two of our most talented deejays can't even tek a plane
Posted on August 27, 2008 11:59
I use to think it was a little trick in getting steven's riddim out on the road, bcuz if u check back most of there rival lirics are on steven's riddim, but wen I here a next man saying responding to a man telling him that he f**k his mother and a next man saying u r gay and who's gun is bigger and who gonna get shot. Naa this sh*t is personal. I think no one shld play nor listen to these songs nor artist until they get this sh*t together. These jackass need to knw that younger kids listen to there music.

there is a story in the observer saying that the cops are investigating fire burn of vybz kartel car they do not believe it was just only electrical problem that had the car blown up
Posted on August 27, 2008 12:15

i feel both men should stop the fued thats going on. i have nothing against kartel. but i love mavado real bad. i just feel if they cant gree they should stay out of each other way. no more blood, let practice peace. let enjoy the natural high that jamaica got going on right now. all over the world every jamaican are smiling from ear to ear. how wi proud of our country in the olimpics. u guy should just let us be pround too. go on a world tour with some of the other dj and rise money to feed the homeless children in jamaica. create soup shops where they could go and get two meals daily. mavado anywhere ur in the i love u and thats the truth remember words are wind,they go in one ear and come out next. and words cant broke ur bones. mavado love ur self and ur children if any and ur parents and put god first. love u nicola tampa florida.

Posted on August 27, 2008 14:30
KARTEL AND MAVODO can't mek gun involve
bcuz a so beenie and killa clash, and them cant get gun involve,
look at this if one get shot the police is going to hold the other responsible
bcuz of the fuel, they are smart well aleast KARTEL IS,
i dont see gun involve, unless it the fans like myself take matter into our own hands,
what i really want is a clash on the spot
so kartel cant done vado once and for all, and show who is lyrically bad , let the game begin ROUND ONE FIGHT

Dem claim seh kartel car get bomb. did that make movado an extra dollar ANYWHERE in the world?
This whole war thing is CRAP. Time for the two of them to invent a "special" trailor load of money wid a money changer built into the dashboard... NOW THAT would be progress.
Posted on August 28, 2008 03:28
WELL @EMBASSY, WE WILL BE SEEING MOVADO AT IREE JAMBOREE AS HE IS CLEAR TO PERFORM IN THE US AS YOU SHOULD REALIZE BY NOW IF YOU DO YOUR RESEARCH.

Don't care.....
Posted on August 28, 2008 15:58
whether its real or fake it needs to stop. crime is slowly sinking jamaica and these entertainers are not helping. The worse part in this thing is that most of the time its not the entertainers themselves but the ppl around them that causes these problems. get rid of them and at the same time save urself some money

big vybz Kartel fan. but Kartel and Movado should stop the madness. i am from Trinidad an it affecting the entire country as well. love Jamaica music. but as i say big Kartel fan but Movado is a good artist to. too of them together can make Jamaica proud. big up Usain Bolt and Richard Thompson them make d Caribbean proud.
Posted on August 31, 2008 19:06
a music and just fi fun??? The box between Beenie and Spice, the fight pon stage wid Vybz and Ninja...no fake...not the people...its the artist. If u are a positive artist then the people will move with positivity. They are bad influence on the young and impressionable youth. Keep Jamaican and the Caribbean people positive. This foolishness should not over shadow what we have achieved at the Olympics. The Unity in our CommUNITY should continue.
Hats off to all the people on this thread that feel the same way!
We need a brighter and better future fi Jamaica than this slackness. That is why I don't play their music around my kids, especially my boys...bad influence.

I am a big big fan of Mavado what ever he sings i love it . Because i aim so special so special i love that song by Mavado if you aint heard it please hear it.
Posted on September 2, 2008 10:35
what is the real deal here. is it lyrics that counts or is it the melodies. well we all knw that when it comes to melody movado do have that way over kartel and when it come to lyrics kartel have it even more way over than movado. movado have an image while for kartel its lyrics so lets see which one live longer. in my opinion tho lyrics has to live longer. been intellectual is admiring for anyone who not just want to hear the voice but the actual messege u recieve fr that voice. i beleive that for people who are really into dancehall music a kartel has to be top rated over movado. evrybody can sing but DJing is a talent that vybz kartel have lock. so credit has to be given to the man with special talent
