Looks like YouTube's infamous "Seeb Eidy" (Let Go of My Hand) singer is getting an out-of-jail card... kinda!

Salma Al-Foly and two others were sentenced to one year in prison after charging them with “harming public morals” and inciting “debauchery” in the racy "Seeb Eidy" music video, which went viral almost overnight.

Foly's dancing partner Wael El-Sediki, who directed the video, was given an identical sentence by the lower court in June. He is still at large.

However, after challenging the court's verdict, the Egyptian appeals court on Sunday halved the jail term for Foly, a court official said, according to AFP.

Now that Foly is getting out of prison in just six months' time, will she be brave enough to come out with yet another controversial video?
