'I do not forgive you' posts follow Erol Köse's death: 'You dug people's graves'

Singer Atilla Taş, stating that Köse had slandered many people and damaged the careers of numerous artists, including himself, said, "I do not forgive you, may your fire be plentiful."

Sinem Umaş, known for participating in the 2005 competition 'Gelinim Olur musun', also said in her post about Köse, "I do not forgive you, you ruined my life during my youth!"

Yeşim Salkım stated, "Yes, we were all saddened, hurt, and I perhaps most of all."

Cenk Eren recounted that Köse had blocked him, saying, "They had blocked my stage performances; there were days when I fell into financial hardship and couldn't pay my rent."

Sharing on his social media account regarding Erol Köse, who lost his life after falling from the 16th floor, Taş used the following expressions:

"You threw a ton of slander at me! You stole millions of my liras! You didn't let me work for years with the contract you held! You took away my job and my bread, (including many of my fellow artists), and you did this to a man who trusted you like a father! You made a derogatory remark about Seda Sayan! You dug the graves of the people whose bread you ate! I'm not even counting the slander you threw at hundreds of artists! The female artists you harassed are another story! I always stayed silent and swallowed it! I do not forgive you, may your fire be plentiful, Erol Köse!"

"I do not forgive you, you ruined my life during my youth"

Sinem Umaş, known for participating in the Gelinim Olur musun competition in 2005, also used the following expressions in her post about Köse: "I do not forgive you, you ruined my life during my youth!! May your fire be plentiful, Erol Köse." 

Umaş's post is as follows:

"In the years after I left the competition, during my most popular times, you said you would make an album, you stalled me for years. I went and worked with ridiculous people and disappeared; I was only 20 years old... I do not forgive you, you ruined my life during my youth!! May your fire be plentiful, Erol Köse!!!! Let no one speak behind the dead, don't say 'nothing would have come of you anyway' or things like that, you cannot hurt me. At the time I was most popular, he made me sign a contract and kept me waiting for 5 years without doing anything; I couldn't make deals with anyone, I couldn't work, and then there was no popularity left, nothing!"

Yeşim Salkım: We were all hurt, and I most of all...

Singer Yeşim Salkım posted, "Yes, we were all saddened, hurt, and I most of all! Look, I'm saying it, understand! But it wouldn't suit me; the man has died and gone, an era has ended." 

Quoting Yeşim Salkım's post, artist Cenk Eren also shared his experiences regarding Erol Köse and said that Köse had punished him for not cutting ties with Yeşim Salkım.

Eren used the following expressions:

"That famous quartet had banned me from everywhere for 2 years, they had blocked my stage performances; there were days when I fell into financial hardship and couldn't pay my rent. When I went to ask for my album, which you had made but then transferred to him, he made me wait for 3 hours, and when he finally let me into his room, he made me stand for half an hour.

'What album, you're going to be punished even more,' he had said. Years later, he told me, 'We had done you a lot of harm, I forgive you.' I replied, 'I forgive you, but I hope you can account for it on the other side.' My only crime was continuing my friendship with you.

Yes, you were the most saddened, I am a witness. For everyone, 'the 90s were magnificent years, wonderful songs, beautiful days.' For some, it was so privileged that it was beautiful for them, but for us, they were years of fear; we couldn't open our mouths.

I am not speaking behind his back because we had made peace, I just wanted to share my troubles with you. Even if we are estranged, and I still don't know the reason, I wanted to tell you. One more anecdote: we had coffee with you at the Bodrum Manastır Hotel, and the next day they called the place where I was working and said they shouldn't let me work. Someone we loved intervened, and I wasn't fired."
