Troubled dancehall artist Vybz Kartel is being sued for $15 million for failing to show up at a scheduled appearance in 2009.
Kartel has been ordered by the Supreme Court to pay $15 million for breach of contract to a promoter after failing to make a scheduled performance at the Turks and Caicos Islands in August 2009.
Jamaican promoter Alton Salmon who promotes under Abuka Entertainment said that after Kartel failed to appear at his scheduled show there was a riot at the venue on August 14, 2009 and then went on to suffer significant losses.
For loss of profits, Salmon was awarded $127,736 on top of the pending $15 million from Kartel, who is currently being held on two murder charges. He was recently granted bail for $3 million, but it is unclear if he has been released from prison.
