Egyptian singer Shireen Abd Al Wahab is
facing a fierce campaign by Algerians after
she allegedly
refused to sing in Algeria due to her anger over the incident that occurred
between the
Egyptians and the Algerians during the game
a prelude to the
last World Cup
stadium
in Sudan
last year.
Suddenly,
the Algerian press launched pages on social networking sites calling to boycott
Shireen. Articles
in the Algerian press accused Shireen of being a materialistic singer after the
money, and also stated that she was involved in a prostitution lawsuit. Papers added
that Shireen is known to be the singer of pot. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Shireen’s husband was also accused of
benefiting from his wife by having her agree to hold concerts while she is
pregnant without being embarrassed just to make extra money.
Recently, rumors had it that Shireen had
demanded a sum of 90 thousand
dollars and
a private jet
in order to hold
a concert in Algeria. It was said that Shireen placed those conditions due to the
fact that she does not wish to sing in Algeria and knew the concert agents
would not agree to her conditions. After the rumors were circulated, Shireen
had publicly denied such allegations and stated she welcomes the idea of
singing in Algeria and all that was said on her behalf is not true.
