ALBAWABA - As Saudi Arabia's 2025 Joy Awards come to an end, one Turkish star named Burak Özçivit has been under controversy across social media for reportedly criticizing the event's planning and organization. 

The video was first posted by Burak Özçivit on his official Instagram story, highlighting excited fans at the 2025 Joy Awards and wrote, "We love you all #suudiarabia🇸🇦." 

While the video showcased no ill intent toward the event's planning and organization with fans cheering and waving at Özçivit, an individual on social media fabricated it, causing widespread hate toward the beloved Turkish actor.

The individual removed the positive comment and wrote instead, "Is there a department that can discuss organizational problems?" resulting in a swarm of hateful comments and criticisms. Here's what some users on Musk's X (formerly known as Twitter) had to say:

"Look at the insect Burak after the post, he and his face are getting smashed. I don't blame the savage, but I blame that called him to the Joy Awards." 

"He's been like this forever, nothing new here." 

"He makes you feel like someone forced him to come..." 

On the contrary, many took to Özçivit's defense and explained to several other users that the video in question was fabricated.
