Mahsun's maternal and paternal families speak Zaza , as he had mentioned several times in his interviews. He was born in 1968 and was named Abdullah.

He did not keep this name for long, however, because his father had issued an identity card for him with his desired name Mahsun. Mahsun first saw his father when he was six years old. The father role was taken over by the older brothers, of whom the youngest, Mahmut, was very concerned about him. Mahmut died of an electric shock at the age of 21.
