Kenyans are excited after the surprise reunion of dancehall legends Vybz Kartel and Mavado.The two Jamaican stars, who were once bitter rivals, were seen together on a music video set with Buju Banton and American producer DJ Khaled.
Photos and videos of the two chatting warmly have gone viral, bringing back memories for many fans in Kenya and around the world.
Years ago, Kartel and Mavado led two powerful camps—Gaza and Gully—that divided dancehall lovers.
Their beef was so serious that it created tension, not just in Jamaica, but even in places like Nairobi, where fans took sides and argued over who was better.
Now, their peaceful reunion has touched many hearts. In Nairobi, music fans took to social media to celebrate, saying it feels like a big moment in music history.
Some said they never thought they would live to see the day the two would talk again, let alone laugh and share a stage.
Many remember the intense loyalty that fans showed during the peak of the Gaza-Gully war. Clubs in Nairobi would even host theme nights for either team, and fights sometimes broke out during arguments between supporters.
This reunion is seen as a powerful moment of peace and growth. Some believe it will set a good example for younger artists who are involved in music feuds.
