The debate that started among famous names in pop music quickly grew and became a hot topic on social media. Those who took their positions on the front line after Burcu Güneş's words directed at Demet Akalın chose their sides and started the salvo.
The polemic was first joined by Ece Seçkin, followed by İrem Derici.
Singer Ece Seçkin used the following expressions in a post on her social media account: "Everyone talks about what suits them. How rude; trying to belittle a successful woman who is your peer. I guess I will never understand this mindset… Also, why are you talking back to reporters? People are just doing their jobs. Relax girl, take it easy."
HARSH RESPONSE FROM BURCU GÜNEŞ
Burcu Güneş, responding to Ece Seçkin's words, used quite harsh expressions and said:
"Ece Seçkin, have a soda at iftar… It’s good for indigestion. Then have 2/3 cups of coffee to clear your head. What year is it that you still have unresolved issues that you are commenting on like your comrades? Sweet girl, think a little deeper, be respectful to your elders… How tall are you? How many permanent works have you produced? Come on, check the time… Rolexxxx girl, come on baby, go your way."
İREM DERİCİ JOINED THE DEBATE
This time, İrem Derici joined the growing polemic on social media. Burcu Güneş also responded to Derici's comment "Shut up, girl."
Güneş used the following expressions in her statement addressed to Derici:
"Magazine flower İrem Derici; when you comment on me somewhere, first button up and stand in respect while mentioning my name. Then say a prayer, and after that, ask for permission. While you were going to school with your teenage depressions, I was recording albums and performing with the biggest musicians in Turkey and the world. Continue on your path with the older sisters you take as examples because that’s your area."
DERİCİ DIDN'T HOLD BACK
İrem Derici, responding to Burcu Güneş's words, did not back down and escalated the situation further:
"Girl, what happened to you? You’ve been stagnant for years, and you’ve been trying to break into that 'your area' you mentioned. As if you recorded an album with Quincy Jones, look at the explanation. I’m not buttoning up, I’m actually unbuttoning another one. The whole industry knows what kind of a lunatic you are. You thought you were Sezen Aksu. Pathetic."
"I'LL COVER THE TREATMENT COSTS"
After the harsh polemic, İrem Derici continued her strong words towards Burcu Güneş in a statement made to the account named Gece Muhabiri.
Derici said, "Go get treatment. I would gladly cover the treatment costs. Colorless, odorless… not in any league but still talking. She told me to 'button up while mentioning my name.' Oh poor girl, really poor. Look, it’s not something to be ashamed of, you need to get treatment. We get the flu and go get medicine, right? Go get treatment."
Derici also did not overlook Güneş bringing up Ece Seçkin's height in the ongoing polemic and said, "Where do you come off asking my sister 'What’s your height?' She is a tall girl with a red scarf because you know, she is 1.80! I think I’ve been too restrained in my comments, by the way."
