Sidem Öztürk Early Life and Background
Sidem Öztürk was born in Turkey and is of Kurdish descent. She moved to the UK at a young age and has spent over 29 years in London. Öztürk’s educational journey is as remarkable as her resilience; she studied psychology, sociology, and philosophy. According to Fox 5 News, she has worked as a social worker, focusing on vulnerable adults and children, showcasing her commitment to helping others.
Sidem Öztürk Relationship with Vybz Kartel
Öztürk’s relationship with Vybz Kartel began in an unconventional yet intriguing manner. A fan of his music, she started corresponding with Kartel in 2015. Their bond deepened over the years, and in 2019, Öztürk traveled to Jamaica to meet him in person. Despite the challenging circumstances, their relationship flourished, leading Kartel to propose to her from behind bars. Öztürk recounted the proposal, saying, “How it happened was, we were just calling each other ‘hubby’ and ‘wifey,’ and he was like, ‘We’re heading toward marriage, so you calling me hubby, or me calling you wifey is not serious enough. So you’re my fiancée, we’re going to get married.’”
Commitment Amidst Challenges
The couple faced immense challenges due to Kartel’s imprisonment. During her visits, they were unable to have physical contact as a glass barrier separated them. “Well, there’s glass between us so we don’t get to touch each other. We just look and talk through some little holes that are in the wood beneath the glass, so it’s not perfect, but we’re making the most of what we can,” Öztürk told Lisa Evers. Despite these obstacles, their connection remained strong. Öztürk described Kartel as witty and uplifting, always finding ways to make her laugh and see the brighter side of things.
To be closer to Kartel, Öztürk relocated to Jamaica, where she managed his Instagram account and handled various business transactions on his behalf. Her dedication played a significant role in maintaining Kartel’s presence in the public eye during his incarceration.
Public Attention and Criticism
Öztürk’s engagement to Kartel has not been without its controversies. While many of Kartel’s fans have shown support, others have criticized and even hurled hate towards her. However, Öztürk remains unfazed by the negativity, staying focused on her relationship. She has consistently expressed her belief in the authenticity of their bond and dismissed accusations that their relationship is a publicity stunt. Notably, she served as the muse for Kartel’s EP, “True Religion,” further solidifying her importance in his life.
Optimism for the Future
Now that Vybz Kartel has been released from custody following a decision by the UK Privy Council, which overturned his conviction due to procedural issues in his original trial, the couple can finally be together without barriers. Videos shared immediately after his release show Kartel and Öztürk celebrating his newfound freedom, making up for lost time.
While there has been no official announcement regarding their wedding date, the couple’s palpable joy and excitement suggest that marriage is on the horizon. With Kartel’s legal battles behind him, the future looks bright for the dancehall star and his devoted fiancée, Sidem Öztürk.
As Vybz Kartel reintegrates into society and the music industry, fans eagerly await what’s next for the iconic artiste and the woman who stood by him through thick and thin. Their story is one of resilience, love, and unwavering support, capturing the hearts of many who admire their journey.
