Dancehall star Vybz Kartel (born, Adidja Palmer) has been in police custody in his hometown Jamaica since October 1, while he awaits trail for two murder cases, but new reports say that the singer has escaped from prison. Kartel reportedly started a riot at the Horizon Adult Remand Centre in Jamaica early on Wednesday morning (November 30), and managed to escape with seven other inmates after holding officers at gunpoint.

According to MTV UK, Kartel and the other prisoners used a maintenance pickup truck to escape from the facility around 1:45am, after swiping keys and clothing from officers to divert attention from themselves.

One officer is said to be dead after suffering a heart attack during the escape, while twelve others are injured, and two have been shot. The guns used in the attack were reportedly smuggled into the prison ahead of time, to be used for the attack.

While one of the escapees was caught in his attempt, Vybz Kartel and several others managed to make a clean break. The Jamaica’s Criminal Investigations Branch confirms that Vybz Kartel is now on the country’s most wanted list.

The 35-year-old performer was arrested at a New Kingston hotel on October 1, for possession of marijuana and he was being held on suspicion of two separate murders charges in the July 12 death of promoter Barrington "Bossie" Burton and the August 16 death Clive "Lizard" Williams.

Christian Tavares-Finson, a member of Kartel’s defense team, told MTV Iggy that the first murder charge was only a conspiracy count, based on charges that Kartel "[told] people that they should go and ? an individual who was shot in an area of Portmore [where Burton was killed].”

Lot of peeps are reporting this as fake....it isnt!

That ? crazy.
