Vybz Kartel continues to show his strong pull power with another sold-out show—this time at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena on Friday night, drawing over 15,000 fans.

The dancehall icon stayed true to his signature U.S. tour style, rocking an NBA jersey customized for the city he performed in—this time donning an Atlanta Hawks jersey with the number 31. This follows his New York Knicks look at the Freedom Street Concert and the Brooklyn Nets jersey worn during his iconic Barclays Center performance.

Fans enjoyed early DJs' sets before the venue reached capacity, as Kartel stuck to his proven formula of delivering high-energy performances of iconic tracks alongside surprise guests.

Previously confirmed, dancehall queen Spice joined Kartel on stage for a royal-themed segment featuring thrones and a fiery rendition of their classic hit “Romping Shop.”

Among the surprise guests were Atlanta native and rap superstar 21 Savage, international icon Akon, and dancehall heavyweight Masicka—who shared the stage with Kartel for the first time to perform their hit “Infrared” as well as his own smashing banger “Whites,” and a couple of other track. Former Portmore Empire member Blak Ryno and top producer-artist Rvssian also made cameo appearances.

Later backstage, rapper 21 Savage gifted Vybz Kartel a Rolex watch, marking yet another moment of the international respect Kartel continues to receive from global icons.

The show was part of the “Return of the Worl’ Boss” series under the Reggae Fest Tour, led by CJ Milan, who continues to play a major role in bringing dancehall to some of the biggest venues across the United States.
