Rapper Asya Alizade was detained in Turkey on suspicion of promoting illegal drugs through her video content. The Attorney General’s Office opened a formal investigation into the singer’s activities, according to local reports. Investigators from the regional drug control division reviewed Alizade’s material and concluded that her videos appeared to advocate the use of illegal substances. Based on the findings, authorities detained the artist at her residence, and there are plans to deport her on grounds related to foreign nationality and alleged complicity.
Following the arrest, Alizade was brought before a court and released after giving testimony. Authorities indicated that she would be deported from Turkey under provisions related to the deportation of foreign nationals involved in activities deemed illegal or dangerous to public order. The case has drawn attention to how social media content is scrutinized under Turkish law and how such actions can lead to removal from the country.
Previously, rapper Scally Milano faced similar accusations regarding the promotion of drugs and discrediting the Russian military. Local authorities reportedly conducted psychological and linguistic analyses, which suggested that the rapper engaged in online promotion of psychotropic substances. This sequence underscores ongoing debates about accountability for online content and the reach of digital commentary into real-world legal consequences [citation].
