Vybz Kartel Reveals His Biggest Priority Following Release From Prison

by

After 13 years, Vybz Kartel and three co-defendants gained their release from Jamaican prison on July 31. Back in 2014, the court sentenced the dancehall legend to life in prison for the 2011 murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams. Williams was one of Kartel’s associates at the time. Kartel’s trial was the longest in the island’s history, lasting 65 days. Toward the end of the process, the jury suspected that a juror was offering bribes to the other jurors. That contributed to Vybz receiving a guilty verdict, though he always maintained his innocence.

This past March, a London appeals court threw out the defendants’ convictions. They stated that allowing the juror accused of bribery to continue serving led to a “miscarriage of justice.” The Jamaican Court of Appeal then decided a retrial wasn’t worth the effort and set the four men free. Besides the passage of time between trials, the court also cited Vybz’s poor health in their explanation. Vybz Kartel suffers from Graves’ disease and an undisclosed heart condition, likely in part from the poor conditions of the prison he served his term in. His doctor gave statements in court saying that his heart was in such bad shape that he could die in his sleep at any time. Now that he’s free, he wants to get healthier.

“Just finished my morning workout […] I can’t overdo it yet […] You know what I say, fitness and family? That’s the greatest,” said Vybz Kartel in the video, clearly sweating from his workout. The 48-year-old is hopeful to get back to normal after his time in prison. In a recent interview with Fox 5 New York’s Lisa Evers, he mentioned that he also purchased a bike and a treadmill to “hit the ground running” in his fitness journey.

Kartel stayed active musically during his time in prison. Between 2011 and 2024, he released nearly two dozen mixtapes and albums. To celebrate his newfound freedom, he released First Week Out, a mixtape of loosies from the last few years of his career. Now that he’s back home, the artist is looking to turn his life around and get back to doing what he’s made his living doing best.

Kodak Black Shows Off Fitness Journey Amid Health Concerns

by

Kodak Black has remained a large name in the hip-hop world for almost a decade at this point. Overall, he was able to burst onto the scene in 2016. From there, he has stayed at the top thanks to consistent releases and a dedicated fanbase. However, he has also gone through his fair share of trials and tribulations. Most recently, fans shared their concerns after seeing the rapper on Drink Champs. He appeared to be a bit chaotic in his delivery, and he was also a lot skinnier than we normally see him.

Following this appearance, Wack 100 and Kodak himself went out of their way to reveal he was doing just fine. They believe people saw one clip, took it out of context, and then immediately tried to play the whole thing up.

As you can see in the video below, he was doing some burpees.

Gunna Keeps Hitting The Gym & Sculpting His Shape In New Picture

by

Gunna was away from the game for a while, but this year, he fully returned to hip-hop in ways big and small. Sure, his reintroduction fell under scrutiny and controversy due to his plea deal, but he’s certainly seen a lot of success regardless. For example, fans mostly responded positively to his new album, a Gift & a Curse, with “fukumean” becoming one of the year’s biggest rap hits. However, the YSL affiliate also revamped his public image in the purely physical sense, and started doing so far before dropping new music. With this new picture, we now have a lot of chapters in the saga of Wunna’s physical transformation.

Moreover, a new snap shows Gunna working out in athletic gear, and it’s almost too hard to recognize him. That would be true even if the picture was from another angle, since this one just captures his side profile. Still, that consideration didn’t stop fans from expressing their impressed, shocked, and downright incredulous reactions to the College Park MC’s bulk-up. While people sometimes cruelly clowned him for being a big boy compared to other rappers in his lane, that’s definitely not a valid joke to make anymore.

Gunna Shows Off More Workout Gains

What’s more is that it seems like the 30-year-old doesn’t even have to try very hard to show up in the news. There’s already been a lot of conversation around his physical transformation, but now there’s a lot of memes tying him to Donald Trump. After all, the disgraced president hired the same lawyer that got Gunna his plea deal to help him out in one of his four criminal indictments. Even though it doesn’t help the “snitching” allegations, it’s a pretty comical and curious connection from two people we can’t imagine in the same room together.

Meanwhile, it’s hard to tell what’s next for the Drip Season artist- at least, when it comes to his career. We know he’ll probably stay on his gym grind, but more releases, collaborations, and a higher profile in the game is still up in the air. It wouldn’t be surprising, but many fans wonder whether his history behind bars will ever catch up to him, especially as the YSL trial moves forward. With that in mind, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Gunna.
