More details about Vybz Kartel’s participation

“It’s official #1Wife. I proposed in prison, got proposed to in #RealLife. You were there when I needed you the most and I will never leave you, baby. I cherish all the times you came to visit me and told me everything was going to be okay. I cherish all the times we talked on the phone and in real life in the box. We’ve laughed together, cried together and now we celebrate together! You are my best friend and companion and I pray to God that we will be together as long as I live.

The Jamaica Observer reported that Sidem and Kartel first time meeting in 2015 while in prison.

When did Vybz get out of prison?

For context, Vybz is free after the Jamaica Court of Appeal refused to retry the murder charge against him. Their decision upheld the UK Privy Council’s decision to overturn the conviction in March. After being in prison since 2011, undergoing one of the longest trials in Jamaica’s history and serving time in prison more than a decade later, Kartel was freed in July.

His conviction centered on the death of his former business associate, Clive ‘Lizard’ Williams. Prosecutors allege Kartel ordered Clive’s murder. Police never found the body but testified at trial that Kartel’s phone had text messages about the body becoming “minced meat.”
