They finally met in person after the Turkish beauty traveled from London to visit the rapper in a Jamaican prison. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In August 2022, Kartel, born Adidja Azim Palmer, proposed behind bars. Following his July 2024 prison release, he again, officially, proposed in November 2024. Fast forward to August 2, 2026, when the Jamaican artist performed in London at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=s4kciAMAR-M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reggae Land<\/a> music festival. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During his set, before playing his 2009 hit \u201cCome Breed Me,\u201d Kartel introduced his soon-to-be wifey onstage and caressed her small, but growing, belly. After performing \u201cBend Like Banana\u201d and \u201cDumpa Truck,\u201d Kartel\u2019s DJ began playing the intro music to \u201cCome Breed Me.\u201d However, Kartel said, \u201cHold on. Hold on. Hold on. Can\u2019t rush the process.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>RELATED<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodunlocked.com\/congrats-vybz-kartel-proposes-to-longtime-girlfriend-sidem-ozturk-months-after-prison-release\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Congrats!

He said, \u201cSidem! Where\u2019s my baby?\u201d \u00d6zt\u00fcrk came out and hugged Kartel, before he said his infamous line, \u201cKiss me, baby.\u201d After sharing a kiss, he said, \u201cThe fans love us. So, let the haters keep watching. So, we wear matching watches. Right? Now, I go tell yuh now. Read between the line. Play the song!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DJ started playing \u201cCome Breed Me\u201d again and Kartel began rapping, \u201cHeaven sent yuh be. Mi need mi family. Mi love yuh baby.\u201d Kartel then walked over to \u00d6zt\u00fcrk and placed his hand on her belly. As he lowered his hand to cup the bottom, he then put his ear\/head on her stomach. She caressed his back and started to laugh. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kartel rose back up and smiled at the crowd as they all roared in a celebratory cheer. Kartel\u2019s DJ then paused the music and told the crowd, \u201cReggae Land, some noise! You have to read between the lines.\u201d As \u00d6zt\u00fcrk started to walk back off stage, Kartel said, \u201cKiss me before you go, baby.\u201d The DJ repeated himself and Kartel continued to rap the rest of the song about insemination. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>RELATED<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodunlocked.com\/vybz-kartel-shuts-down-barclays-center-cardi-b-turns-up-safaree-gets-emotional\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vybz Kartel Shuts Down Barclays Center \u2014 Cardi B Turns Up With Friends, Safaree Gets Emotional + More<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-vybz-kartel-s-pregnant-fiancee-sidem-ozturk-holds-belly-and-says-my-baby-got-me-this-after-pregnancy-reveal-couple-says-they-re-twinning-for-life-with-matching-iced-out-jewelry\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vybz Kartel\u2019s Pregnant Fianc\u00e9e Sidem \u00d6zt\u00fcrk Holds Belly And Says \u2018My Baby Got Me This\u2019 After Pregnancy Reveal; Couple Says They\u2019re \u2018Twinning For Life\u2019 With Matching Iced Out Jewelry<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following viral clips from the pregnancy reveal, Kartel took to his Instagram with a video of him and \u00d6zt\u00fcrk back in their hotel suite.
