Vybz Kartel Changes Name to Addi Innocent?

Incarcerated reggae artist, Vybz Kartel has been releasing new singles under the moniker Addi Innocent, which prompted fans to speculate whether he has officially changed his governmental name.

However a rep for the jailed dancehall star told Urban Islandz that he is not changing his stage name, that the name Vybz Kartel is here to stay! Listen to his new song,  Ordinary Servant after the cut

“The name Addi Innocent is just a moniker we took on after the injustice handed down in the Supreme Court, because the world know that Adidja Palmer, aka Addi, is an innocent man sent to prison by the Jamaica injustice system” the rep told us. “Addi Innocent is more like an alter ego.”
“Vybz Kartel is an iconic name in dancehall so that will not change,” the rep added.

Since his incarceration in April, Vybz Kartel has released a slew of new singles with the moniker Addi Innocent including “Road To Paradise,” “Can’t Call This A Love Song,” “Downtown Kingston,” and a new gospel song “Ordinary Servant.”

The acclaim dancehall star has also released a new album, Reggae Love Songs on June 3.
