Jamaican dancehall artist Vybz Kartel has opened up about forgiving his wife after learning that she had been unfaithful while he was serving a 13-year prison sentence.
Despite the revelation, Kartel expressed continued respect for his wife, acknowledging the emotional struggles she faced during his incarceration.
“She held it for years then she couldn’t hold it anymore. But I still respect her because I understand human beings. I am sure she loves me because she is holding me. Come on, I’m in prison for 13 years—what do you expect her to do?” Kartel said.
He also expressed gratitude for her ongoing support throughout his time in prison, highlighting her dedication to managing practical matters such as paying bills and communicating with his lawyer.
“Even when she was slacking, I could still jump on my phone and say, ‘Surety, go to the bank. Make sure the lawyer gets this. Pay this bill.’ She was there right through.”
Kartel revealed that he found out about the infidelity when his baby mama informed him of the situation.
However, he emphasized that the incident didn’t change his feelings toward her, explaining that he had forgiven her completely and was ready to move forward.
