Ali Abdülselam Yılmaz (born 1993), better known as Fester Abdü, is a Turkish YouTuber and the owner of Deli Mi Ne? YouTube channel. Yılmaz's channel is the 9th most-subscribed Turkish YouTube channel as of June 2020.[2]
Life and career[edit]
Yılmaz was born in 1993 in Adana. Yılmaz is a graduate of Çukurova University School of Physical Education and Sports. He is a licensed athlete of the Turkish national canoeing team.[3]
"Deli Mi Ne?" YouTube channel was founded by Yılmaz in April 2017.[4] In 2018, Yilmaz's participation in a running race with pink high heels and diving on the shipwreck named Majestik, which had sunk in the Battle of Çanakkale, caused reactions from various media organizations.[5][6]
Controversies[edit]
Show TV case[edit]
In July 2019, Yılmaz filed a lawsuit against Show TV for using his channel's videos without permission and publishing defamatory broadcasts. As a result of the lawsuit, it was reported that Show TV would pay him ₺1.43 million in non-pecuniary damages.[citation needed] Show TV later denied this claim.[7]
2019 UEFA Super Cup controversy[edit]
In August 2019, Yılmaz jumped onto the field at the 2019 UEFA Super Cup, played at Vodafone Park between two English clubs Liverpool and Chelsea. 4 other people who accompanied Yılmaz during the streak were taken into custody. As a result of these events and subsequent criticism by YouTubers such as Enes Batur as well as media outlets, the number of subscribers on his channel started to decrease.[8]
The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office prepared an indictment against Yılmaz in June 2020. For Yılmaz and his three friends a one to three-year prison sentence was demanded. Yılmaz is being prosecuted for entering banned areas and his friends for assisting with the crime.[9]
