Singer Burcu Güneş's remarks about her colleague Demet Akalın, "I don't see her as close to me in terms of art, effort, stance, or quality. I don't see her at any level that could compete with me on my path," received a response from Ece Seçkin. Seçkin said, "Everyone talks about what suits them. It's so rude to try to belittle a successful woman of your own gender. I guess I will never understand this mindset."
The pop music world is shaken by these statements. After Burcu Güneş used harsh words about her colleague Demet Akalın at an event she attended, singer Ece Seçkin responded.
"EVERYONE DOES WHAT SUITS THEM" Ece Seçkin said the following to Burcu Güneş, who stated about Demet Akalın, "I neither see her as close to me in terms of art nor in terms of effort. I do not see her as close to me in terms of stance or quality. I do not see her at any level that could compete with me on my path, neither in terms of art nor in terms of singing. You all know this very well actually":
"Everyone talks about what suits them. How shameful it is to try to belittle a successful woman who is your peer. I guess I will never understand this mindset. Also, why do you talk back to reporters? People are doing their jobs. Relax girl, take it easy."
“I DID NOT TARGET A SINGLE PERSON” Güneş stated in her post that her words did not target a single person and that the interview covered different topics. The artist used the following expressions in her post:
“I attended the album launch of my dear Emre Altuğ. It made me extra happy to see him and for him to sign a full album. I congratulate him again. And of course, at the end of the night, we had a long interview with our magazine friends. It is not as much as you see in the magazine right now. Also, it is not by targeting a single person. It was a very long interview.
Actually, I tried to touch on the archetypes in the market. Questions were asked from the rap community, and my thoughts were asked regarding the opinions and comments of our other friends. Plus, of course, questions were also asked about certain figures in this world that serves popular culture. I expressed my ideas and thoughts. When I was asked a question related to my own profession, the field I have been working in for years, it is not something I can see myself doing to skip over some things lightly or to talk about them as if they are unimportant. Because these are really important issues, and I think our society is greatly affected by them.
I think we are going through a chaos where we do not question how certain people in our country, from every sector and every topic, came to their positions, what they did, how qualified they are, whether they truly deserve to be there or how much effort they have put in. A social chaos. And I don't think this is something specific to this period. I have been seeing an incredibly abstract environment for many years. I see a situation where nothing is placed where it belongs, where it deserves to be. Of course, I am not only talking about my own sector. But this is a very, very important situation that needs to be discussed for us."
