In July of this year, Vybz Kartel was released after spending roughly 13 years in prison. The beloved dancehall performer has since made the most of his newfound freedom, even dropping a 12-track project, First Week Out. He's also been spending plenty of time with his fiancée Sidem Öztürk, who he first began corresponding with in 2015. A few years later, she visited him while he was behind bars, and he eventually proposed.
Now, they're finally able to be together outside of prison, but this too has its setbacks. In a new clip from Instagram Live, Öztürk is upset that Kartel was getting up close and personal with a couple of fans. She urged him to "treat them like groupies," while he insisted that he was simply doing his job.

As expected, the clip has sparked a major debate in DJ Akademiks' comments section. While some think Öztürk had a right to be upset, others argue that it comes with the territory. "There’s showing groupies love and there’s playing in your wife face," one Instagram user claims. "What did she expect," another wonders. Hopefully, the two of them will be able to reach a compromise at some point.
This isn't the first time Vybz Kartel has sparked a debate recently, however. Last week, he announced his first performance in over a decade, which is scheduled for December 31 at Jamaica National Stadium. Tickets are available for purchase now, but some social media users thought they were priced unfairly. For reference, tickets start at $125 USD, with luxury viewing pods available for a whopping $10K. What do you think of Vybz Kartel's fiancée telling him she doesn't want him talking to groupies? Do you blame her, or does she have nothing to worry about? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
