The fans of the master artist flocked to the ceremony despite the adverse weather conditions. Ibrahim Tatlıses, who came to AKM for the ceremony, could not hold back his tears, saying, "He was the prince of arabesque. A true prince."

According to the news from Magazinburada, Ibrahim Tatlıses, who attended the ceremony, could not hold back his tears. Struggling to speak about Tayfur, Tatlıses said, "No one has given him this title until today. I call him the prince. May his place be paradise. We came to bid farewell to the prince of arabesque. I have eaten a lot of his bread. When he came to Ibo Show, the ratings skyrocketed. You saw the crowd outside; his concerts were like this too."
