Reggae Sumfest stampede during Vybz Kartel’s crowning leaves several injured

During the crowning of Vybz Kartel at Reggae Sumfest, a stampede erupted as fans surged forward, resulting in multiple injuries among attendees and photographers. Security had to step in as barriers were knocked down, leading to chaos and confusion. An anonymous media professional recounted, “It was a bunch of people falling down and pushing down the fence and barriers, and one fell on my foot while I was covering.” The incident disrupted the event, causing dancehall artist Tommy Lee Sparta’s performance to be cut short. While there were no life-threatening injuries, witnesses noted that many sustained scrapes and bruises, with some leaving the venue after Kartel’s performance.
