After his discharge from the hospital, İbrahim Tatlıses, the famous singer, made headlines with his announcement of his will. Tatlıses stated that he left everything to the state.

The famous singer, İbrahim Tatlıses, who was hospitalized after falling ill at home recently, underwent surgery related to his gallbladder. After the operation, the singer, who was kept under observation, was discharged.

"I EARNED THE MONEY; WHAT'S IT TO ANYONE?"

Responding to reporters' question about his will as he left the hospital, Tatlıses said, "Not a single penny. I earned the money. What's it to anyone? I left it to the state."

HIS ASSETS BECOME A SUBJECT OF CURIOSITY.

Following the announcement that his inheritance would be left to the state, Tatlıses's wealth has once again become a topic of discussion.

Although no official figures have been released, rumors and various economic sources estimate Tatlıses's net worth to be between $150 million and $850 million.

İbrahim Tatlıse's drastic decision: Clash with son and strong message about legacy

Turkish music legend İbrahim Tatlıses has been discharged from Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital, where he had been hospitalized since April 7 and underwent gallbladder surgery.

While confirming that the surgery went well, the artist made strong statements about the tense relationships with some of his children.

Tatlıses revealed that, by his own will, some of them were not allowed to visit him during his hospital stay. “God bless my children, but not all of them. Tuçe is my soul, and I have deleted the letter A from the alphabet,” he said, hinting at the rift with his son Ahmet Tatlıses. According to the singer, their behavior was not at the level he expected: “If my father were in this state, I would never leave him alone.”

He was even harsher when he spoke about his wealth. Tatlıses declared that he did not intend to leave anything to his heirs, as everything would go to the Turkish state. “Not a penny for them. My father did not leave me any wealth; I built everything myself. I use it as I wish. The greatest legacy I have left them is my name, which opens every door, but they do not know how to appreciate it,” he emphasized.

Finally, the artist also made an appeal for the construction of a new hospital in his hometown, Şanlıurfa, while announcing the release of his new song "Baboş" this week. He also commented on sports, predicting that Fenerbahçe will emerge victorious in the next derby.
