Words like a testament from the famous artist: "Don't mention him when he dies"

Artist Mahsun Kırmızıgül harshly criticized media outlets in a statement on social media. He targeted the main news broadcasts, saying, "The artist's work, concerts, and hard work are not valued. We are ignored while we are alive, but remembered when we are dead."

“Artists Are Remembered When They Die”

Kırmızıgül stated that esteemed figures like Edip Akbayram, Volkan Konak, Ferdi Tayfur, and Özkan Uğur were overlooked while alive, but were brought to the forefront after their deaths. The artist expressed this situation with the words, "It's a shame that artists are remembered only when they die."

“They Give Room to Thieves, Not Artists”

Kırmızıgül, who stated that "Artists produce for their people," said that television broadcasts were not about artists, but about "corrupt thieves and hypocritical frauds." Recalling that journalists like Mehmet Ali Birand, Ali Kırca, Reha Muhtar, Ufuk Güldemir, and Uğur Dündar had once championed artists, Kırmızıgül described the current situation as "shameful."

“We will not see those who do not see us”

The artist announced that from now on, she will only appear on programs from media organizations that value hard work. Kırmızıgül, who declared, "We won't see those who don't see us," concluded her statement with the following statement, which serves as a testament:

"If something happens to me one day, or if I pass away, don't report on me! Don't come to my funeral! Go and continue reporting on the thieves you deem newsworthy, the ones who steal our children's future."
