The famous Jamaican dancehall artist, Adidja Palmer, widely known as Vybz Kartel, has at last been released from prison.

The artist was released after a court decision on Wednesday afternoon, which ruled that he and his associates should no longer face prosecution.

The 48-year-old musician has been keeping his fans updated about his release through his social media pages.

In one of his posted videos, which has ignited considerable discussion online, he is seen in a car with his girlfriend, Sidem Ozturk. He is also shown holding an alcohol bottle, filming himself with his girlfriend, and complimenting her.

"I'm out! Me and my wife," Vybz Kartel said in the video.

In the video, the dancehall star's head was covered, but his swollen cheeks were visible, indicating that his health is not in great condition.

Netizens have had mixed reactions to the video, with some commenting on his health, others discussing his relationship, and many celebrating his release.
