Adidjahiem Records Willing To Renegotiate KYM’s Contract & Grant Her Creative Freedom

In light of the announcement that Kim Hamilton –formerly known as Gaza Kim, now known as Kym– has chosen to exit the Portmore Empire and Adidjahiem Records, Empire leader and record company CEO Adidja “Vybz Kartel” Palmer has issued the following statement:


The Portmore Empire invested a substantial amount of money in the career of singer Kim Hamilton–filming music videos, printing promotional posters and clocking several hours in the studio honing her talent. We’re disappointed that she felt the need to issue a press release to the media announcing her departure from the record label, Adidjaheim Records, without first notifying the company. This is particularly disturbing given the fact that she is still under contract and the record company has fulfilled its end of the agreement.

Nevertheless, we understand and respect her decision to leave even if we don’t agree. We are prepared to negotiate the terms of her contract, to grant her creative freedom, while minimizing the impact on the company, as is customary in matters of business. 

The Portmore Empire will continue to support and seek out young artistes in Dancehall. We believe that Jamaica has a never-ending reservoir of talent and the Empire will continue to develop and market young acts.
