Yunus Özyavuz, a prominent Turkish rapper known by his rap alias "Sagopa Kajmer" and his wife Esen Güler, also a rapper known by the name "Kolera," have divorced after 11 years of marriage, Özyavuz said on his Instagram account on Monday.
"We have divorced with Esen, my friend for 20 years, my dearest friend and wife for 11 years," he said in the post.
"I would like to thank you all for supporting us and listening to our music," he added.
"Even though 'Melankolia' will continue only with Sagopa Kajmer from now on, the couple holding hands on its logo will always stay there," Özyavuz said.
Melankolia is a music company founded by Özyavuz and Güler in 2005. The name is a reference to Sagopa Kajmer's usually pessimistic lyrics in his music.
The couple have composed many songs together and they also share two albums.
