Incarcerated dancehall artist Vybz Kartel engaged in a bit of jeering and one-upmanship at the expense of one of his perceived enemies, former Jamaican cop and producer Milla 9, in a series of Instagram Story posts over the weekend.
“All you Milla9, weh a tell mon bout Kartel fi stay a prison… now death sentence ya face,” the post said.
Jamaican cop and popular dancehall music producer, ‘Milla9’, was among two Jamaicans arrested and charged in connection with a murder and attempted robbery incident that was captured on CCTV at a house in Irvine, California, USA in 2019.
The ex-cop could face the death penalty according to California state laws, since the murder occurred during the commission of a burglary.
The 42-year-old producer, whose real name is Omar Miller, had been charged along with 34-year-old Andre Omar Andrews, a resident of Miramar, Florida in December 2019. He and another man were arrested and charged in Florida with murder, criminal conspiracy and assault with a deadly weapon. The deceased man has been identified as 20-year-old Raymond Alcala.
The Irvine Police Department in California released surveillance footage and photos of Milla 9 from inside the home two days after the murder on their official Twitter account.
In a brazen use of social media, Kartel’s account declared that Milla 9 was a target of his Run Dancehall track that he released last year.
“Caught pon di camera, di crime tape play/F-cking ediat, yuh do it inna USA,” the post said.
Then Kartel admitted that he was not rejoicing at Milla 9’s downfall with the declaration that : “an me still na rejoice, cause me no need system fi hurt my enimi. Mi capable & tuff enough fi hurt dem me self.”
The two were former friends during the height of the Gaza-Gully period of Kartel’s storied career, with Milla 9 producing Kartel’s Big Money single on the Bloodline rhythm.
