Vybz Kartel falls ill while partying in a Jamaican club

Dancehall superstar Vybz Kartel this week fell ill while partying at a nightclub in Kingston, Jamaica.

Videos circulated on the web showed the musician being assisted out of the club. He was later spotted sitting on the rails as patrons tried to ‘fan’ him.

It is unclear what led to the incident but sources close to him told a Jamaican publication that he was doing fine.

When Kartel was released from prison two months ago, many could not help but notice his swollen face, leading to speculation about his health.

Earlier this year, his medical condition was reported by Fox 5 News when they obtained a sworn medical affidavit from his private doctor.

The affidavit revealed that he had Graves’ disease and a heart condition that was getting worse and could be fatal if surgery was not performed.

These ailments led to swelling in his neck and face and protruding eyes, which required the constant use of spectacles.

This is not a singular case, as a few celebrities have suffered the same predicament. Wendy Williams, Sia, and Missy Elliott, among many others, have been diagnosed with Graves' disease at some point.

Sia, who normally conceals her face during performances, tweeted a while back about her condition. "I'm not crazy! I have Graves' disease!" the Australian singer-songwriter wrote in 2010.
