The two master artists Sezen Aksu and Nazan Öncel have had a falling out. Nazan Öncel, one half of the duo who performed a duet last April and sang the song "Erkekler de Yanar," drew attention with a statement she made at the Harbiye concert. Öncel's words, "Friendships were a lie. We've seen Kanlıca too," revealed that the two have fallen out.
The tension in the friendship between two masters of Turkish pop music, Sezen Aksu and Nazan Öncel, surfaced on the Harbiye stage. The words Nazan Öncel used during the concert drew attention.
THEY HAD PERFORMED A DUET TOGETHER IN APRIL
Sezen Aksu and Nazan Öncel entered the studio together on April 2 for the song "Erkekler de Yanar" and undertook a project that made waves in the music world. However, Nazan Öncel's statement at the Harbiye concert became the agenda.
SHE SENT A MESSAGE TO SEZEN AKSU FROM THE STAGE
During her speech on stage, Öncel said, "In this era, we've realized that friendships are also lies and fake. Recently, we sang 'Erkekler de yanar,' you know we did a duet. We also saw Kanlıca. People should either appear as they are, or be as they appear." These words by the artist were interpreted as a reference to Sezen Aksu.
While the close friendship of the two artists has been known for many years, no statement has come from Sezen Aksu's side.
