Spice Throws Shade at Alkaline During Iconic Freedom Street Performance

Dancehall royalty Spice joined forces with Vybz Kartel during his much-anticipated return to the stage after 13 years in prison. The event, Freedom Street, held at the National Stadium in Kingston on New Year’s Eve, was a landmark moment for the dancehall legend and his fans.

The night began with Spice delivering an electrifying performance, featuring hits like So Mi Like It. As the countdown to the new year approached, she and Kartel shared a powerful moment, singing the Jamaican national anthem together to usher in 2025.

Spice added her own flair to the occasion, debuting a remix of Kartel’s latest single, The Comet. Originally released to mark Kartel’s return, the track reaffirms his dominance in the dancehall scene. Spice’s remix echoed the same confidence, while also taking a jab at Alkaline, a figure often compared to Kartel.

“Kartel fresh outta prison and a mek more money than artiste weh deh a road longer,” she declared, making it clear who she believes holds the title of dancehall’s finest.

Despite Kartel’s statement that he holds no grudges and has no issues with Alkaline, Spice’s bold lyrics reignited conversations among fans. The night concluded with fireworks and celebration, as the duo reminded the world why they remain icons of the genre.
