Jamaican dancehall icon Vybz Kartel has officially debunked circulating rumors of an East African tour in May 2026, including stops in Uganda, Rwanda, and Kenya. His team warns fans against unauthorized promoters and potential scams, emphasizing that no shows are confirmed.
Dancehall superstar Vybz Kartel has firmly shut down online speculation about an upcoming East African tour scheduled for May 2026.
Recent social media buzz suggested the artist would headline shows in Uganda (May 1 at Lugogo Cricket Oval), Rwanda (May 2 at BK Arena in Kigali), and Kenya (May 8 at Laureate Gardens in Nairobi) as part of a regional run.
Vybz Kartel and his management swiftly addressed the claims, making it clear that no such tour has been planned or approved by his team. They stressed that neither the artist nor his representatives have any connection to the reported dates or venues.
In an official statement released on his verified channels, Vybz Kartel warned fans and industry contacts about the risks involved:
“It has come to my attention that a post is circulating claiming that I will be embarking on an East African tour in May 2026.
Let me be absolutely clear: neither my management nor I have any knowledge of, or involvement in, any such tour. No East African shows have been announced or confirmed by my team.
Any individuals, promoters, or platforms claiming to be booking or advertising these shows are acting without authorization and are misleading the public. Fans, promoters, and venues are strongly advised not to engage with or send money to anyone making such claims, as these may be scams.
For the avoidance of doubt, all official announcements regarding Vybz Kartel appearances and tours will come directly from my verified platforms or from my authorized representatives only.
As a reminder, the only individuals authorized to speak or act on my behalf are my manager, Linton T.J. White, and my attorney, Jason Mitchell.
Anyone falsely using my name to promote unauthorized events will be dealt with accordingly.
– Adidja “Vybz Kartel” Palmer”
The artist urged supporters to rely solely on his official social media accounts and team for accurate updates, highlighting the ongoing issue of fraudulent promoters exploiting his name.
