Dancehall Artist Vybz Kartel Gets Engaged To His Long-Time Girlfriend

With a sincere, down-on-one-knee gesture, dancehall musician Vybz Kartel proposed to Sidem Öztürk, marking a significant milestone in their long-distance romance.

An important milestone in their unusual love story was reached when Kartel presented Öztürk with an engagement ring in a hotel room, leaving him speechless.

Before the proposal, Kartel showed his supporters how happy he was by flashing the engagement ring. He then used Instagram to consider their relationship.

“You were there when I needed you most and I’ll never leave you, baby,” he wrote, expressing deep appreciation for Öztürk’s consistent support, both through his legal battles and emotional struggles.

Kartel recalled how her visits and calls kept him grounded, adding, “We laughed together, we cried together, and now we celebrate together.”

In 2015, Öztürk and Kartel first became acquainted when she, as she acknowledges, went to considerable measures to contact him by locating his social media accounts.

She was attracted to Kartel because of his charm in her life as well as his music. She said, “I found him very handsome… an obsession,” calling him her “perfect match.”

The couple’s love has remained strong throughout Kartel’s imprisonment, and they are now looking forward to their future together with an engagement ring serving as a symbol of their relationship.

Motivated by a strong bond that Kartel characterizes as friendship, companionship, and love, the two continue to defy the odds.
