Vybz Kartel and Sidem Öztürk

Famous Jamaican Dancehall musician Vybz Kartel shared how he met his girlfriend, Sidem Öztürk.

In an interview on Hot 97 radio, he explained the details. He found her profile while scrolling through Instagram comments. At that time, he was having issues with his baby mama.

“I met her on July 25, 2015. I’ll never forget it,” he said. While in prison, he was active on Instagram due to having free time. He noticed a girl who liked his pictures and decided to check her page and DM her.

Sidem later confessed she had been searching for him. However, there were many fake Vybz Kartel pages online. She initially found him through his baby mama’s account.

Vybz Kartel also revealed plans to marry Sidem this year. “She’s at my hotel right now with my mother,” he said. “We’re definitely getting married this year.” He joked about wanting Turkish children who would speak to him in a language he wouldn’t understand.
