Controversial deejay Vybz Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, is to face the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court today to answer to a ganja charge.

Kartel has been in police custody since Friday after he along with three companions were arrested at a hotel in New Kingston and charged with possession of ganja.

The female companion who was with 'The Teacha' at the time of his arrest is also expected to appear in court today to answer to a similar charge.

This is the third time this week that it bas been expected that the self proclaimed 'Worl Boss' would have appeared in court. He was booked to appear in the Gun Court on Tuesday and Wednesday to answer to charges of murder, illegal possession of firearm and conspiracy to commit murder.

Palmer is represented by Tom Tavares-Finson, Christain Tavares-Finson and Michael Deans.

The charges against Palmer, who is from a Kingston 8 address, were made following an interview by the Major Investigation Task Force detectives in the presence of his attorneys earlier this week.

The allegation is that on July 11, Palmer along with other men conspired to murder Barrington 'Bossie' Burton, a 27-year-old businessman/promoter of a Gregory Park address in St Catherine. Burton was murdered while he was standing with friends along Walkers Avenue in Gregory Park.

Kartel who has been on the music scene since 2002 is known for hits such as Emergency, Clarkes, Straight Jeans and Fitted and British Love.
