Adidja Azim Palmer (born January 7, 1976), better known as Vybz Kartel, is a Jamaican Dancehall artist, songwriter, and businessman. He has gone by many nicknames throughout his career, including such as Addi the Teacher, WorldBoss, Gaza Emperor, War Angel, Exiled Pharaoh, Daddy Devil & many more.
Kartel first recorded “Love Fat Woman,” just as a teenager under the alias Adi Banton, an homage to legendary reggae artiste Buju Banton. Kartel later adopted the name Vybz Kartel, after a disembark from a three-member group that went by that name.
Kartel later established his own record label Adidjahiem with his business partner and producer Notnice. In 2010, he released his first recognized studio album Pon Di Gaza 2.0 which boosted his career in a short time.
