Vybz Kartel and Mavado — full set, A Taste of Reggae Sumfest, 18 July 2026
YOUTUBE · rights discovery only · performance footage
The full Kartel and Mavado set at Plantation Cove, filmed and published by The Fix, under the title "Vybz Kartel vs Mavado [FULL Sumfest 2026 Clash]". The clash billing is not the channel inventing a story — the event was promoted that way, on the Gaza/Gully framing, and the "versus" carried through into how the footage was published. What happened on the night was a combination: the two men trading hits on the same stage rather than cutting each other down. The gap between the billing and the outcome is the point of the record. The same channel also published the set as a ten-part series, of which parts 4, 6 and 7 were not surfaced when this record was made. Identified via web search; not verified from the seeding environment. Discovery-only external reference pending editorial rights review.

A higher-quality transfer. The upload's title declares Kartel the winner; other uploads of the same night declare Mavado, and contemporary reports generally record a draw. The claim is noted as evidence of the dispute, not carried as fact. Identified via web search; not verified from the seeding environment.
