Vybz Kartel started his life sentence at the Tower Street Adult Correctional Centre last week Thursday immediately after a judge handed down the shocking sentencing.A rep for the former Portmore Empire boss told Urban Islandz that the self-proclaim Worl’Boss is stronger than ever. “Addi [Vybz Kartel] is holding up strong in the face of this injustice,” the rep told us. “All this talk of suicide are false rumors people aligned to the system are spreading in the media. All clean heart people know that Di Teacha innocent and the fans them support stronger than ever.

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby.
