Vybz Kartel has unveiled his new Florida mansion and a fresh start, showing off the upscale property in a new home tour.
The Dancehall heavyweight recently gave his followers a peek into his latest chapter. He shared a video of his new U.S. home, complete with soaring ceilings, a sleek pool and an outdoor space built for entertaining. His fiancée, Sidem Öztürk, was seen lounging comfortably in the clip. The new property marks a major step in his comeback after serving 13 years in prison. In a recent interview, Kartel confirmed he’s now based in Florida. He also made it clear he’s steering clear of trouble and distancing himself from his old stomping grounds in Jamaica.
Meanwhile, Vybz Kartel made his triumphant return to the U.S. stage with two back-to-back, sold-out concerts at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on April 10 and 11, 2025—his first U.S. performances in 20 years since regaining his American visa. Each show reportedly drew around 19,000 fans, making Kartel the first dancehall artist to sell out Barclays Center twice in a row, a historic milestone for the genre.
Vybz Kartel’s performances featured surprise guest appearances by Busta Rhymes, Spice, Shenseea and many more.
