The announcement that Nilüfer will perform Kayahan's hidden song 'Sabaha Kadar' drew a harsh reaction from his daughter, Beste Açar. In a social media statement, Açar made a controversial claim against Nilüfer, saying, 'I was 8 years old when I learned about your relationship with my father.' Referring to İpek Açar as 'Cinderella,' Açar alleged that moves were made behind her back and announced she would initiate legal proceedings.
The announcement that "Sabaha Kadar" (Until Morning), a song written years ago by Kayahan, the unforgettable name of Turkish music, and never released until now, would be released by the famous artist Nilüfer, ignited a major crisis within the family. Breaking his silence after the project was announced, the late artist's daughter, Beste Açar, made a venomous statement on social media targeting Nilüfer and her father's ex-wife, İpek Açar.
"WE NEVER FORGOT WITH MY MOTHER"
Opening old wounds with Nilüfer's announcement of her new song project, Beste Açar went back to her childhood years and made scandalous allegations against the famous artist. Stating that she had been silent for many years, Açar recalled the relationship she claimed existed between Kayahan and Nilüfer in the past with these words:
"I was little when I met you… We shared so much. I was going to stay silent, but I had to put an end to it now. Because sisters wouldn't do this… When I learned about your relationship with my father, it was the first shock for us when I was 8 years old. If I say the day of the Yalova Thermal Hotel concert, you'll remember. We never forgot with my mother…"
"SINSIRELLA" GIBE AT EX-WIFE İPEK AÇAR
Stating that she had fought alone for years to protect the rights to her father's unheard songs, which are his legacy, Beste Açar claimed that she was kept in the dark about the release process of this song. Alleging that Nilüfer and her father's ex-wife İpek Açar acted together, Beste Açar described İpek Açar as "Sinsirella" and used the following harsh words:
"I am the one who has been fighting for years for my father's unheard songs to be performed… The two of you teamed up to stab me in the back, to act as a front for that Sinsirella (İpek Açar)! You disrespectful people, quietly scheming behind my back!"
THE HISTORIC SONG WAR RESTARTS: LEGAL PROCESS AHEAD
Recalling the famous ban on singing songs that Kayahan imposed on Nilüfer in the past due to a copyright dispute, which went down in Turkish music history, Beste Açar announced that she would initiate legal proceedings through her lawyer to stop the project. Stating that she would reimpose an embargo on the songs, Açar concluded her words as follows:
"In the past, I will also ban the songs that my father banned you from singing for years because of the injustice you did regarding copyrights. Tomorrow, my lawyer will tell me what to do. Now think about it, both of you…"
