Acun Ilıcalı stated in the program he participated in that their companies have gone into debt while growing and that they occasionally experience cash flow difficulties, saying, "Our business is doing very well, but we are a growing company that invests, and as we grow, we continuously incur debt.

Famous television producer Acun Ilıcalı made statements about his business life and economic situation on the YouTube program Hitmakers. Ilıcalı's remarks, especially regarding his financial situation, quickly became a trending topic on social media.
"THE MORE WE GROW, THE MORE WE GO INTO DEBT"
Responding to the question from host Arem Özgüç, "Has Acun Ilıcalı gone bankrupt?", Ilıcalı stated that his companies have a growing structure and that incurring debt is inevitable due to investments during this process. Ilıcalı said, "Our business is doing very well, but we are a growing company that invests, and as we grow, we continuously go into debt. We acquired a channel in Germany. We don't come from a super-rich family. It's been 20 years. They ask how I found the money in such a short time; let me find it in 20 years," he expressed.
"CASH FLOW PROBLEMS CAN OCCUR"
Ilıcalı also mentioned that they sometimes experience financial fluctuations, saying, "You watch me every day. We also face financial difficulties. What we call cash flow... Isn't there a crisis? Our hotel burned down, and we all suffered. We didn't broadcast advertisements for a month. There was an earthquake, and we didn't even look at the television for 4 months due to mourning. We thought about our citizens. Since television is entertainment, the advertising sector fluctuates," he said.
"THERE ARE THOSE WHO WANT ME TO FAIL"
Acun Ilıcalı also spoke about the allegations and criticisms directed at him. Ilıcalı stated, "The group that wants Acun Ilıcalı to fail is about 5-10%. It's not small. Those who love Acun won't write me a love story. A certain group is waiting in ambush," he expressed.
