Dancehall superstar Vybz Kartel has taken the bold step in his long-distance relationship with Sidem Öztürk, proposing to her with a heartfelt, down-on-one-knee gesture.

The emotional moment unfolded in a hotel room, where Öztürk was left stunned as Kartel presented an engagement ring, marking a significant step in their unconventional love story.

Kartel shared his joy with fans, flashing the engagement ring before the proposal, and later took to Instagram to reflect on 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.”

Öztürk and Kartel first connected in 2015 when, as she admits, she went to great lengths to reach him by tracking down his social media presence.

She was drawn to Kartel not only for his music but also for the allure he held in her life. “I found him very handsome… an obsession,” she shared, describing him as her “perfect match.”

Despite Kartel’s incarceration, the couple’s love has endured, and now with an engagement ring symbolizing their bond, they look toward a future together.

The two continue to defy the odds, driven by a deep affection that Kartel describes as friendship, companionship, and love.
