Turkish social worker Sidem ztürk has been engaged by Jamaican dancehall musician Adidja Azim Palmer, better known as Vybz Kartel.
Vybz is serving a life sentence for murdering an associate.
Öztürk said that she and Kartel got engaged in the summer of 2022 during an authorized prison visit.
The two had been talking for seven years.
"He’s smart, I love his heart, he’s got an amazing heart and it’s so giving, it’s so loving, I like to call him my angel,” - Sidem Öztürk
A curious fan asked;
"Did he actually propose to you, did he have a song to propose to you, can you share some of that with us?”
Sidem explained;
“So how it happened is, we were just calling each other hubby and wifey and he was like, ‘Well we’re heading towards marriage so calling you wifey or you calling me hubby is not serious enough,’ so he was like, “You’re my fiancé, we’re gonna get married.”
Meanwhile, Öztürk remains hopeful that Vybz would be freed in his ongoing appeal at the United Kingdom’s Privy Council.
Vybz Kartel has been behind bars for over a decade, following his arrest 11 years ago in Kingston.
The dancehall artist was slapped with two murder charges in the months following his arrest.
He was later acquitted on charges of the murder of Barrington “Bossie” Burton but found guilty of the murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams in 2014.
He however is eligible for parole once he has served a minimum of 35 years in prison.
