However, the public has continued to worry due to his previously disclosed health problems, including Graves' disease and heart problems.
Why is Vybz Kartel's face swollen?
Graves' disease is a disease that causes an overproduction of thyroid hormones, known as hyperthyroidism, which can be fatal if left untreated.
According to the National Institute of Health, symptoms of the disease include eye problems, an enlarged thyroid gland, and in some cases, erectile dysfunction.
Kartel's struggles with these health problems were first revealed in May 2023 while he was in prison.
Her recent public appearance and subsequent health scare has reignited the conversation about her condition and well-being.
Treatment for Graves' disease includes radioactive iodine therapy, thyroid-suppressing drugs, beta blockers, and surgery.
However, it is said that surgery was not available for Kartel while in prison.
When was Vybz Kartel released from prison?
As previously reported, Kartel was released from prison in late July 2024 after successfully appealing his 2014 murder conviction.
He and three other men – Shawn Campbell, Andre St John, and Kahira Jones – were found guilty of the 2011 murder of Clive 'Lizard' Williams.
Jamaica's Court of Appeal ordered his release after ruling that there was no need for a retrial.
This happened after the Privy Council in England overturned the sentence in March and sent the case back to the Court of Appeal to decide if the singer should be tried again.
