Starting the independent music and arts label, O-Bay Ent. I knew I was good enough to get signed since 10th grade and i got so frustrated waiting that i said i’ll sign myself. By the time i started the label in 2017, i realized the platform i could create by doing so. I wanted it to be an effort totally for my city so it’s named after the inner harbor or the “old bay”. I’ve always believed baltimore could be a music hub like NY or ATL and this is my contribution to the movement.

What legacy do you want to leave behind ?

When it’s all said and done, i want to turn rap into a legitimate sport so that we can stop saying “hip-hop is dead” and change it to “hip-hop was dead”. when i’m 40 i wanna start and host the first Rap Olympics in Baltimore at M&T Bank Stadium. it would feature all 5 elements of hip-hop so there could be lots of events.

Where do you see yourself in the next five years?

I see myself on the cover of forbes magazine doing an interview on how i became the worlds first blac trillionaire. or i at least see myself executive producing the soundtrac for 2k or madden, and i plan to make every song one by an O-Bay artist or affiliate.

I also see myself contributing a lot to baltimore by adding many more opportunities thru the city for the youth to avoid street life like after school music and arts programs, arcades, and community centers. i also want to start haven housing for people in disenfranchised situations, this could be homeless or like an abusive relationship, the point is finding a way to rescue those who actually want to be put on a path to a brighter future.

Vybz Kartel’s Engagement To Sidem Öztürk From Behind Bars, A Tale Of Love Forever

Vybz Kartel

In a story reminiscent of a romantic movie script, Jamaican dancehall superstar Vybz Kartel, after nearly a decade of resilience defying the odds, has taken a heartfelt leap in his relationship with longtime girlfriend Sidem Öztürk. Engaged since his days in incarceration, Kartel’s recent proposal to Öztürk exemplifies a bond that’s been tested, strengthened, and made all the more resilient by love, loyalty, and redefined devotion.

Vybz Kartel was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2014, a development that significantly altered the trajectory of his life and career. While many presumed that his influential voice would be silenced within the confines of his cell, an unexpected turn of events unfolded. Öztürk emerged as a beacon of dedication, captivating music fans worldwide during this challenging period. As Kartel articulated on social media, she provided steadfast support throughout his most difficult times, conveying messages of encouragement and affection across the barriers of incarceration. Their relationship, sustained through regular phone calls, prison visits, and unwavering loyalty, evolved into an unconventional yet profoundly impactful love story.

Following his recent release, Kartel didn’t miss a beat in reaffirming his commitment to Öztürk. On November 4, he took to Instagram to share a deeply personal, celebratory video, flashing a ring with excitement before kneeling in a hotel room to officially propose. With Öztürk visibly stunned, the moment encapsulated years of shared devotion, further enriched by Kartel’s caption: “You were there when I needed you most, and I’ll never leave you, baby.” He reminisced on moments they laughed together, cried together, dreamed together, and now celebrate together even during periods when freedom seemed unattainable.

The genesis of their romance dates back to a bold move by Öztürk in 2015 when, as she later revealed, her admiration for Kartel’s music and persona led her to track down his Instagram profile. What started as admiration quickly evolved into a profound connection, one she describes as an “obsession” that felt decidedly destined. Almost a decade later, her instincts have proven right, and the two are now engaged, looking forward to building a life beyond the confines of prison walls together in a love forged through extraordinary circumstances.

This evolving saga reflects a resilience that mirrors the trajectory of Kartel’s music career. Vybz Kartel and Sidem Öztürk are ready to start their future together, not constrained by bars but united by a promise reaffirmed multiple times.
