Throwback 90s deejay Grindsman is gunning for Vybz Kartel because of the World Boss’ interpolation of his hit single “Benz Punany”. This is a dramatic reversal from his stance years ago as he had previously crediting the song with a revival of his career.

The original “Benz Punany” was recorded by Grindsman in 1990 and produced by dancehall artist Red Dragon (Leroy May). In 2010, Kartel released a remake of the song — titled Benz Punany — which interpolates the original lyrics and melody over the S-Class riddim produced by NotNice.

Kartel’s version quickly became one of the deejay’s most popular tracks, with over 10 million views on YouTube.

In 2023, Grindsman told Dancehall Mag, “When Vybz Kartel revoiced my song, I could say it did some good to let people realize I sing one of the greatest girl songs out of Jamaica. Also letting my fans remember that I am still alive.”

However, Grindsman now says he was never contacted before the remake was recorded.
