The One Caribbean Music Festival (OCMF), which is slated for tonight at the Queen’s Park Savannah in Trinidad, will go on without its headline performer, after it was announced that dancehall icon Vybz Kartel will no longer be performing at the highly anticipated event.
The announcement was made earlier this evening by the entertainer’s management team, who, in a release, stated that the “non-fulfilment of contractual obligations” was the reason behind the late cancellation.
“Vybz Kartel has always been committed to delivering captivating and unforgettable performances for his fans. However, we cannot in good conscience allow him to participate in an event where the organisers have not honoured their basic contractual obligations,” the release said.
The event’s promoters, JACHO Entertainment, have since responded to the announcement, admitting that payment issues were at the heart of the matter.
