Kenyan media personality Claudia Naisabwa has revealed that she plans to attend the highly anticipated Vybz Kartel and Mavado concert in London.
Speaking on the Zoza Podcast, Claudia said she had already secured her ticket for the event, which is scheduled for 9 September 2026 at The O2 Arena in London.
“We have Vybz Kartel and Mavado on the 9th September in London. I’m only saying because I got the tickets.”
Claudia was discussing the international acts expected to feature in this year’s entertainment calendar when she mentioned the Jamaican dancehall stars.

Vybz Kartel and Mavado reunite
The London concert, billed as Gaza vs Gully: Vybz Kartel & Mavado, will bring the two dancehall stars together on the same stage.
The O2 lists the show for Wednesday, 9 September, with doors opening at 6.30 pm. Live Nation also confirms the two Jamaicans as the headline acts.
The performance carries particular significance because Kartel and Mavado have been associated with the famous Gaza and Gully camps in Jamaican dancehall.
According to The O2, the London performance will mark their return to the same stage after 18 years. Their rivalry dates back to the 2000s and became one of the most recognised clashes in dancehall culture.
‘Gaza for life’
During the podcast conversation, Claudia was also asked to choose between the two camps when asked which artist was better during his prime.
She acknowledged the strength of both musicians but made her preference clear.
“They are both really good, but Gaza for life.”
Her answer places her firmly behind Vybz Kartel, who is associated with the Gaza movement, rather than Mavado’s Gully camp.
