Fatih Ürek has long been one of the most unforgettable figures in the entertainment industry, known for his high-energy performances, catchy songs, and vibrant personality. However, the seasoned artist's sudden illness and subsequent months-long battle for life not only kept him in the headlines due to his health status, but also due to the swirling rumors about his inheritance. Allegations were rife that while Ürek was still in intensive care, a dispute over his estate had broken out among his family members, with claims that valuable items and furs from his home were being sold. Following his death, his multi-million-dollar estate, the will he had declared years ago, and the successive statements made by his sister, Selvi Ürek, once again became the focal point of public attention.

Fatih Ürek, one of the most vibrant figures in Turkish art music, pop, and entertainment world, has become an indispensable name in the celebrity scene since the 1990s, not only with his songs, but also with his stage costumes, unique style, and television shows.
Having reached a broad audience with songs like 'Hadi Hadi', 'Sus', and 'Hayde', Ürek became a sought-after figure on both stages and screens over the years.
However, in October 2025, the artist who entertained millions started a long and challenging battle for life following a heart attack. Throughout the months-long treatment process, every development about his health was closely monitored, while the inheritance claims made while he was still alive sparked a major debate in the public eye.
Fatih Ürek suffered a heart attack while having breakfast at home on the morning of October 15, 2025. Medical teams who arrived at the scene managed to revive the artist after a lengthy cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
In the hospital, a stent was placed in his blocked artery, but the fact that his heart had stopped for a long time led to serious complications due to the lack of oxygen in his brain. The artist, who was intubated in intensive care, fought for his life for about three and a half months.
While his fans were waiting for hopeful news, it was announced on January 30, 2026, that Fatih Ürek had passed away. His death caused great sorrow among the art community and his fans.
While Fatih Ürek was still in intensive care, the gossip columns were now occupied not by his health condition, but by the inheritance claims that had emerged.
In some gossip shows and on social media, it was alleged that there was a dispute over inheritance in the hospital corridors between the artist's sister Selvi Ürek and his sister Nurgül Fırat, who lives in Germany. It was even claimed that the two sisters had a confrontation over the distribution of the artist's wealth while he was still alive.
Following these news, the alleged estrangement that had occurred between the siblings years ago was brought back to the agenda. The allegations that they had not spoken for many years, combined with the inheritance rumors, made the topic grow even more on social media.
But the disputes did not end there.
During Fatih Ürek's hospitalization, numerous claims were made that valuable jewels, stage costumes, furs, and personal belongings in his house were secretly sold or removed.
The costume collection and valuable jewels that the artist had created with great effort over the years also became the focus of these news.
Following his demise, the wealth left behind by Fatih Ürek became one of the most discussed topics in the entertainment press.
Allegedly, in Bodrum, there was a luxury mansion worth millions of liras, apartments in Istanbul Ataşehir that brought in rental income, a substantial amount of bank deposits, luxury cars, and a highly valuable jewelry collection that had been used on stage for years.
As the magnitude of the fortune was discussed, rumors of a 'inheritance dispute' flared up again. However, statements from the family painted a completely different picture.
Fatih Ürek, during his lifetime, often expressed in various programs that his greatest dream was to build a school bearing his own name.
The artist, who was keen on supporting children, had stated for years that this was his biggest testament.
His close circle frequently reminded of this wish after his death, and his family announced that efforts would be made to keep the artist's spiritual legacy alive.
As the inheritance disputes grew after his death, Fatih Ürek's sister, Selvi Ürek, refuted most of the allegations in her statements to Snob Magazine.
Selvi Ürek stated that the news such as 'Fatih's belongings were looted while he was in the hospital', 'his furs were sold', 'his jewels were stolen' did not reflect the truth.
According to her sister, the house in Ataşehir was completely emptied in accordance with a court decision, accompanied by lawyers and official officers. All the belongings in the house were recorded one by one and delivered to the trustee, and no action was taken unlawfully.
Selvi Ürek also corrected the allegations discussed in the public about the inheritance distribution. Ürek, who stated that the news that the fortune would only be shared between the two siblings was not correct, announced that in addition to herself and her sister Nurgül, the two daughters of their late sister Sevgi Salgın were also entitled to the inheritance.
Emphasizing that their priority as a family was not to share the inheritance, but to close the tax and bank debts left behind by Fatih Ürek, Selvi Ürek said that after all official procedures were completed, the remaining assets would be equally shared among the four legal heirs.
Finally, she stated that the costumes left from the artist's approximately 40-year stage life would be put up for sale in a special organization, and the income to be obtained from here would be donated to educational institutions and animal shelters in line with Fatih Ürek's greatest desire, thus putting an end to both inheritance disputes and testament controversies.
