The Hunts, a family visiting Jamaica from New York, were happy to share that getting into the National Stadium for Freedom Street was an easy process.

Natasha and Tyreke Hunt, siblings who moved to the US at a young age, both have a form of muscle weakness that requires them to use wheelchairs.

"We really had no issues at all. We got on the plane fine and everything. And when we got to the National Stadium, it was the same," said Natasha Hunt

When asked why they decided to come all the way to Jamaica, Natasha replied, "Vybz Kartel runs the streets."

Her brother shared the same sentiment.

"I'm really happy to be here. Everyone was very helpful and we got inside the stadium [with] no issues. Vybz Kartel is the man and we're here to just hold a vibe," Tyreke said.

The Hunts are among the hundreds of patrons tonight at the National Stadium in St Andrew, eagerly awaiting Vybz Kartel's long-anticipated return to the stage.
