The Gov­ern­ment has de­cid­ed to “re­strain” Vy­bz Kar­tel from per­form­ing some songs deemed to be vul­gar when he vis­its this coun­try lat­er this month for a con­cert. It is al­so con­sid­er­ing in­sti­tut­ing an age lim­it for those at­tend­ing the event. The de­ci­sion comes as the Ja­maican dance­hall artiste, re­al name, Adid­ja Palmer, said he had no is­sue with the re­stric­tions be­ing im­posed on him in T&T.

Kar­tel has been booked for the One Caribbean Mu­sic Fes­ti­val on May 31, in what is con­sid­ered a high­ly an­tic­i­pat­ed per­for­mance.

How­ev­er, on Thurs­day, Guardian Me­dia was first to break the news that De­fence Min­is­ter Wayne Sturge had is­sued a draft or­der lim­it­ing Kar­tel’s move­ment while in T&T for the con­cert.
