IMPLIED SHARING SPARKED EVENTS

The crisis was ignited by an implied post made by Tatlıses on his social media account. The artist shared a post with the note, "When I cut the bones of the dogs I fed, they started barking," without mentioning any names. However, it soon became clear that these words were directed at his 40-year-old friend Metin Cantimur.

"I CAN REVEAL HIS SECRETS"

Following this post, Metin Cantimur stated on his social media account, "Greetings to the friend who tries to cover his own lack of credibility with accusations against others." Not stopping there, Cantimur connected to a gossip program and made various claims about İbrahim Tatlıses. During the live broadcast, Cantimur alleged that Tatlıses had a religious marriage with his former caregiver Tuğçe, and he also mentioned that he could reveal Tatlıses's connections with Reza Zarrab and his secrets in Germany. His statement, "I can even give the names of the witnesses at the wedding in Bodrum. He has had religious marriages with everyone," drew attention.
