Dancehall fans across the globe are buzzing after an explosive reunion shook the music scene—Vybz Kartel and Mavado, the former fierce rivals at the heart of Jamaica’s infamous Gaza vs Gully feud, are officially teaming up after 17 long years.
The once-bitter adversaries have reportedly set aside their past differences to collaborate on a new track alongside DJ Khaled and dancehall icon Bounty Killer. The upcoming release, shrouded in secrecy but already hyped as “historic,” will mark the first time the two deejays have appeared on the same song since their feud began in 2008.
Sources close to the project claim the track was initiated by DJ Khaled, who has long been vocal about his love for dancehall culture and Jamaican music. “Unity is strength,” Khaled is said to have declared during a closed studio session in Kingston. “This ain’t just a song. This is history in the making!”
The Gaza vs Gully rivalry dominated the late 2000s, dividing dancehall fans down the middle and sparking lyrical wars, clashes, and even physical altercations between supporters. Vybz Kartel led the Portmore Empire under the Gaza banner, while Mavado helmed the Gully side from Cassava Piece. The beef was legendary, intense—and, at times, dangerous.
Now, in a move that no one saw coming, the two appear ready to turn a new leaf and send a powerful message of unity.
Bounty Killer, a mentor to both Kartel and Mavado, is said to have played a quiet but crucial role in making the reunion happen. “The youths need to see growth,” Killer reportedly told a confidant. “We built this music, and we have to protect it.”
Fans are already flooding social media with reactions ranging from disbelief to wild excitement:
“Kartel x Mavado x Khaled x Killer??? 2025 SAVED!”
“This better be fire. We waited two decades for this.”
“Dancehall just healed in one track.”
Vybz Kartel, currently serving a sentence in Jamaica, is expected to appear on the record via previously recorded vocals or remote sessions—a method he’s used for several recent features.
No official release date has been confirmed yet, but insiders hint the song could drop as early as this summer.
One thing’s for sure: the streets are watching, the speakers are waiting, and dancehall is about to witness a full-circle moment no one thought possible.
Gaza meets Gully—again. But this time, it’s not war. It’s music.
