Almost 15 years after a bitter split that shook dancehall, Vybz Kartel and former business partner Corey Todd have publicly reunited, signalling the end of one of the genre’s longest-running disputes. The moment unfolded in a heartfelt conversation, where both men spoke of love, unity, and reflection on their turbulent but equally profitable past.
The pair’s history is legendary. Together, they built iconic ventures including Street Vybz Rum, condoms, and the nightclub The Building, which became a hub for Kingston nightlife and a launchpad for local talent. Their split in 2011 made headlines, with Todd claiming Kartel’s behaviour had turned unpredictable and threatening, effectively dissolving their partnership.
The reunion has sparked a flurry of excitement online. Fans flooded social media with praise and nostalgia, including Popcaan’s sister, Unruly Squid, who wrote, “Yessssssssss finally !!! Family is back together,” and Miami DJ Jazzy T, who added, “Greatness. Long overdue. 💪🏾💪🏾 Progress over animosity 👊🏾.” Many commenters hailed the reunion as a historic moment for dancehall culture, a sign that legendary partnerships can withstand time and turmoil.
Beyond the nostalgia, this reconciliation could signal the return of collaborative projects that made both men household names. For fans, the reunion is more than a peace gesture—it’s a revival of a creative force that helped shape modern dancehall, reminding the world that in music, even the deepest rifts can heal.
