Vybz Kartel’s business partner Michael Dawson is dismissing rumours regarding a stabbing incident at the Horizon Adult Remand Center and that the deejay is soliciting funds to pay his lawyers.

Reports surfaced that the deejay was engaged in a fight on Tuesday night with another inmate when he was stabbed.

However, in a press release issued Thursday, Michael Dawson said that there was no truth to the reports.

Dawson also states that unscrupulous individuals have been using Kartel's name in an attempt to scam money from the public. He said that scammers have been contacting other artistes and fans claiming that Vybz Kartel needed contributions for his lawyers' fees.

The business partner of Vybz Kartel also state that he believes the rumours were created to further to defame Vybz Kartel and frustrate his family and close associates.

Michael Dawson says "remedy will be sought to the full extent of the law.”
