A slew of Jamaican and international stars showed up to show their support to the “Fever” artiste.

American singer Chris Brown, though absent, took to his social media to big up the “World Boss.”

In the crowd were fellow artiste, Jada Kingdom, Pamputtae, D’Yani, Marcy Chin, Stefflon Don, supermodel Winnie Harlow, DJ Akademiks, and Idris Elba, just to name a few.

To grace the stage, fans were treated to performances from Bounty Killer, Busta Rhymes, Spice, Jah Vinci, Chronic Law, Sean Storm, Ishawna, Sheba, Gaza Indu, Pop Caan, Nhance, Harry Toddler, Shatta Wale (pronounced Wal-ay), Lisa Hyper, Tommy Lee, Skeng, Skillibeng, Likkle Addi, and Likkle Vybz.
However, the main act was Vybz Kartel, who performed two different sets, giving fans 3 hours of nonstop hits.

In the first half, the “Clarks” deejay graced the stage in a suit and tie, to which the stadium erupted as he was lifted onto the stage.

Singing a medley of hits from the 2010s, fans sang along as Zj Chrome provided the instrumental.

In the second half, Vybz Kartel returned to his stage in a throwback outfit, a jersey and jeans. He reeled out his hits from the early 2000s.

Controversy stirred when Popcaan and Chronic Law took to the stage to make disparaging comments about the organisers of Freedom Street, Skatta Burrel and Josef “Joe” Bogdanovich.

Performance lagged due to an altercation on the stage. Allegedly someone from either Popcaan’s or Chronic Law’s camp was involved in an altercation, prompting a response from the police.

The matter quickly de-escalated by the police and Vybz Kartel.
Scores of social media fans took to the internet to laud the iconic deejay for an “amazing” show.
