A scathing letter from Ahmet Tatlı to his father İbrahim Tatlıses: 'I would never curse my children like you do'

Famous folk singer İbrahim Tatlıses had filed a lawsuit against his grandson Mert Tatlı, who is the son of his son Ahmet Tatlı. The court ruled in favor of İbrahim Tatlıses, who claimed that his grandson was living in his apartment at the Oyak Site in Sarıyer without paying rent.

Following the incident, İbrahim Tatlıses spoke to Kanal D Haber, saying, "I have a house, yet I cannot give my house to my daughter. Can such a thing be? I will give it now, but... Won't his father rent a house? Let me see, let's see what kind of father he is! I don't have a problem with my grandson, but there could be one from now on. I took care of them. He needs to learn how to be a father first. I cannot give a house to his child while my own child is renting. Let him learn how to be a father."

Ahmet Tatlı did not remain silent about this behavior by İbrahim Tatlıses, who had his son Mert evicted from his home. Ahmet Tatlı lashed out at his father through posts he made on his social media account.

Stating that İbrahim Tatlıses had given the apartment his son Mert was living in of his own free will, Ahmet Tatlı published messages on his Instagram page, saying, "It has become essential for me to make a statement after İbrahim Tatlıses' recent remarks targeting me and my son again."

Here is that statement:

“Hello everyone... It has become essential for me to make a statement after İbrahim Tatlıses' recent remarks targeting me and my son again. After the baseless accusations of İbrahim Bey, who does not even respect the month of Ramadan or the holidays, I also want to say a few things. Years ago, he gave my son Mert one of the houses he owned of his own volition and consent. When I say gave, I don't mean the title deed, of course... Besides, my late grandmother and uncle were already living in his other houses in the same complex.

My son got married 6 years ago and continued to live there with his family. Then he filed a lawsuit as if he had just realized this. He demanded that my son vacate the house and pay back rent with interest. Imagine you have a house and years later you realize that your grandson has been occupying your house and you haven't noticed this for years. How interesting, isn't it? I am used to it, of course... It hurt my son, but we know the real reason is the mood swings İbrahim Tatlıses experiences and his reaction towards me."

''He filed a lawsuit against his own grandson. After the court decision, he made statements targeting me again. He used strange and harsh expressions like 'Let him be a father, let him learn how to be a father.' So the incident came back to me. My son lost his mother to leukemia when he was 2 years old. I was very young. At that time, I was doing my military service in Sarıkamış, Kars. I returned from the military and did my duty as a father. My mother, his aunts, and his late mother's family all contributed greatly to Mert's upbringing. May God be pleased with them.''

''While I was being a father to Mert for years, I was also a son to you, İbrahim Tatlıses... I know very well how to be a father. You are the last person to lecture anyone on this subject. You are the person who made me your bodyguard when I was just a child, using me as a shield in front of you at concerts and in crowds. As if that wasn't enough, you are a father who held me responsible for every incident that happened to you. God is above. All your relatives and the magazine world are witnesses to these... Now I think about how a father can be so indifferent to his child's life.

I risked my life for years, I protected you... You cannot question my sonship or my fatherhood. Whenever you felt in danger and called for help, I was by your side. Now you stand up and say, 'Let him learn how to be a father'... If I had taken you as an example, woe to my children...

With your fatherhood, you caused and inflicted severe traumas not only on me but also on your other children, that is, my siblings. Everyone is silent out of love and respect, but those who know, know... Let's not open those topics at all.''

''Did my children ever come and complain about me to you? Did they say, 'Our father is like this or that'? Did they say, 'My father doesn't do this, he doesn't take care of us'? You were the one who used to praise the son you are now trying to evict from his home to the skies.

It doesn't matter at all. Let whoever you want live in your house, the property is yours. I am not a father who would leave his children hungry and homeless. Furthermore, my son Mert does not need me to survive... Even if that were the case, I would not leave my son or my grandchildren in a difficult situation...

They wouldn't leave me either... Just as I never said a word against you and gave you my own house that I owned. I have no regrets about what I did for you... İbrahim Tatlıses, even though you are a person devoid of love and fatherly feelings, I did my duty as a son. I have two lion-hearted sons. I stand behind them in their mistakes, and I look at them with pride in their truths. I would never curse my children like you do.''

''If my fatherhood is ever to be questioned, it will be my children who do it. In short, enough is enough! Is your goal to get on the agenda? Or are you creating an excuse to distort the issues and prolong the ongoing legal process? I don't know, but please, I beg you, do not drag my children and my family into the headlines with baseless accusations!

I apologize to all our loved ones on my own behalf. We have occupied you unnecessarily again. I wouldn't have wanted to make all these statements, but I am sensitive when it comes to my family and my fatherhood. Sincerely''
