I just retweeted a verse that I thought was funny. 165 others retweeted that verse the same night but I am the only one being tried."
In regards to his decision to leave Turkey, Say stated "I've lived abroad for 17 years, and perhaps it's time to move on," he responds. "Moving to Tokyo is a possibility, I think living in the Far East will be good for me." In regards to his music and the potentiality of prison, the pianist said,
