Turkish music legend İbrahim Tatlıses has been discharged from Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital, where he had been hospitalized since April 7 and underwent a gallbladder procedure. While confirming that the surgery went well, the artist surprised everyone with strong statements about his strained relationships with some of his children.
Tatlıses revealed that, at his own request, some of them were not allowed to visit him during his hospital stay. "May God bless my children, but not all of them. Tuğçe is my soul... while I have erased the letter 'A' from the alphabet," he said, hinting at the rift with his son Ahmet Tatlıses. According to the singer, their behavior did not meet his expectations: "If my father were in this condition, I would never leave him alone."
He was even harsher when discussing his wealth. Tatlıses declared that he has no intention of leaving anything to his heirs, as everything will go to the Turkish state. "Not a single penny for them. My father left me no wealth; I built everything myself. I use it as I please. The greatest inheritance I have left them is my name, which opens every door, but they failed to appreciate it," he emphasized.
In conclusion, the artist also made an appeal for the construction of a new hospital in his hometown, Şanlıurfa, while announcing the release of his new song "Baboş" this week. He did not fail to comment on sports either, predicting that "Fenerbahçe will emerge victorious" in the upcoming derby.
