The family feud between Özcan Deniz and his brother Ercan Deniz, which began with a property transfer, escalated to allegations of death threats and insults, leading to a court case. The shadow of the crisis even reached the stage. A detail noticed by Gökay Kalaycıoğlu sparked much discussion: Deniz shared his resentment with his fans by saying, "Even my brother sold me," instead of "Even my father sold me."
Famous artist Özcan Deniz is back in the spotlight due to a deep family crisis with his brother Ercan Deniz. The tension that began over the transfer of a property between him and his brother, who managed him for 22 years, has escalated to court. Deniz, who filed a lawsuit for the cancellation of the title deed, later drew attention with a statement he made on his social media account. The artist claimed that his brother threatened him with death and insulted his wife, Samar Deniz. Following this, he applied to the Istanbul Family Court for a protection order. The court imposed a two-month ban on insults, curses, and proximity against Ercan Deniz. The tension has also spilled over to Özcan Deniz's stage performance.
HE REVISED HIS SONG
The legal process between Özcan Deniz and his brother Ercan Deniz, which has come to the fore due to the family crisis, continues to resonate widely in the tabloid world. In the shadow of these developments, the topic was discussed in the Magazin Bahane program prepared and presented by Gökay Kalaycıoğlu and Hakan Solaker in the Haberler.com studio.
THE TURBULENT PROCESS DID NOT ONLY STAY IN THE COURTROOMS, BUT ALSO REFLECTED ON STAGE
Last week, Gökay Kalaycıoğlu, who watched Özcan Deniz's stage performance at the Cahide stage, brought attention to a notable change in the artist's repertoire. It was stated that Özcan Deniz made a change in the lyrics of his song "Aslan Gibi," which he released in the 2000s and received great acclaim. In the original lyrics, the lines "You wouldn't know who hit me / Even my father sold me" were changed in the new version to "Even my brother sold me." This change was interpreted as being directly related to the legal and personal conflicts the artist has recently experienced with his brother.
"HE THINKS HE WAS SOLD BY HIS BROTHER"
Evaluating this detail in the program, Kalaycıoğlu stated, "The man is already saying it in the song… Here’s the news. 'Even my brother sold me,' he says. The original lyric was 'Even my father sold me.' He even revised the song. This shows how deep his break is. We have a man in front of us who thinks he was sold by his brother. Every family has someone who gets the brunt of it."
