Vybz Kartel shares spiritual message after erasing ‘Devil’ tattoo

Dancehall superstar Vybz Kartel has revealed that he has removed his controversial ‘Devil’ tattoo, sharing a deeper spiritual and motivational message with his fans months after his release from prison.

In a TikTok video shared on Monday, March 23, 2026, he pointed to the now‑blank space where the tattoo once was and declared, “Take off the devil… f**k that,” signalling a personal shift in mindset and symbolism.

Kartel’s announcement comes after his long‑awaited return to freedom earlier this year, when he was released from prison and resumed his music career. The removal of the ink, many fans believe, reflects his evolving outlook since regaining his liberty.

In the video, the artist reflected on the negativity and envy he often encounters from others. He said people sometimes resent confidence or success, but stressed the importance of staying focused and resilient.

“People will hate you for your confidence… people will hate you for your jive… instead of wishing jive upon themselves,” he said, highlighting how some project their unhappiness onto others.

Since his release from prison, Kartel has been showing signs of change, both in his public image and the messages he shares.

Social media has since been flooded with reactions, with a large number of supporters praising the move. Many say they are proud of Kartel and admire the steps he is taking, describing it as inspiring and uplifting. Others have noted that this decision sends a positive message, especially given his influence on younger fans.

The message blended motivation with spirituality. Kartel referenced divine protection and his mother’s prayers: “My mother pray, ya cover me again… new day begin, more life blessing.” He urged fans to view each day as a fresh start, emphasising self‑belief, perseverance, and positivity despite life’s challenges.

Kartel celebrated personal victories and joys, wealth, love, and fulfilment while reinforcing the importance of believing in oneself. “Believing I got something, I know no limit… I’m believing in myself, no longer know about winning,” he said, delivering his message with the lyrical cadence fans know him for.
