London had been waiting for him. Fresh off his historic three peat at the Barclays Center, Vybz Kartel made his arena debut in the city, where 20,000 fans packed every corner of the O2 Arena for his first UK arena concert.

Dressed in a sharp Givenchy suit, he emerged on stage from a set styled like a prison cell. The Worl’ Boss erupted with “Dollar Sign” and “The Comet,” taking fans on a journey through his endless catalog. From crowd favorites like “Miami Vice Episode,” “Summer Time,” and “Love Dem,” to newer hits like “Story Book” and classics such as Notnice’s iconic “Street Vybz" and “Romping Shop”, where he mentioned to Spice, who didn’t make the show - the energy never dipped.

Kartel brought Rvssian out to perform their hit “Jeans and Fitted,” gave Shawn Storm and Ishawna their slots, and stunned fans with a surprise cameo from Wizkid, one of London’s most beloved stars.

He also catered to his hardcore base, running through gritty tracks like “Broad Day Light,” “Empire Army,” “Real Badman,” and “Last Man Standing,” before closing the night on an emotional note with “God Is the Greatest.”

Even with a bandaged knee, Kartel left everything on stage, proving once again that his status belongs among the elite of global superstars. The Worl’ Boss Tour continues tomorrow with a second sold-out show, extending his historic run.
