Famous singer İlyas Yalçıntaş, who was arrested as part of a drug operation and spent 110 days in prison, broke his silence for the first time after his release. Making a statement on his social media account, the famous artist firmly denied allegations of drug trafficking, while admitting that he had used substances in the past and apologized to his fans.

The famous artist, who was arrested as part of a drug operation targeting celebrities and stayed in Marmara Prison for 110 days, broke his silence by appearing before the camera after his release. The artist, who posted a video on his social media account, apologized to his listeners while responding to the allegations about him.

"THE PRECISION SCALE WAS FOR SPORTS SUPPLEMENTS"

The famous figure, who firmly denied the accusations of "trading and supplying prohibited substances" about him, made the following statements regarding the precision scale found during searches at his home and widely covered in the press:

"As I have said from the very beginning, that scale was in my kitchen to measure food and supplements. I have been exercising regularly for years. In the gendarmerie criminal report, no trace of any prohibited substance was found on that scale. In my phone examination, not a single element supporting this accusation was found. Far from trading, even the possibility is absurd."

"I ADMIT THAT I WAS A USER, I APOLOGIZE"

The artist, noting that he went through difficult psychological periods, honestly admitted that he did not traffic substances but had made the mistake of using in the past:

"Do not think that because I am famous, I have always lived a life like heaven. There were times when I collapsed too, and I made that mistake during those periods. I wish I had not. If I set a bad example, I sincerely apologize to everyone."

HE RESPONDED TO THE CRITICISM AND THE CRITICS 

The famous artist, reminding that he attended boarding school for primary school and served 15 months in the military, emphasized that he was accustomed to difficult conditions and stated that he came out of the prison process even stronger. Touching on the negative news about him and the reactions on social media, he said:

"I know there are those who are happy about what happened to me. No matter what you do, you can never break strong souls. I hope the journalists who ran headlines saying 'He will serve 10 years in prison' will report this statement of mine with the same enthusiasm."

The artist ended his statement by thanking his fans and announced that he would soon meet music lovers with new songs and concerts.
