The Music production company Rotana had made an agreement with professional photographer Shamoun Daher to take exclusive pictures of all their artists under Rotana at their private outings, concerts, events, and so on. Daher was instructed to take pictures of Haifa’s concert - which was made to promote the release of her album “Huweh Al Zaman” (Its the Time) produced by Rotana - as well as photographing scenes from her music video “Al Shouq Jabak” (Longing Brought You).
According to the London based Elaph, after taking a large number of pictures for the singer and submitting them to Rotana, Daher is still waiting to receive his wages. The photographer has asked over and over to be paid in full by Rotana but has not received any feedback. Daher has revealed that he intends to file a complaint against the production company if his dues are not paid.
On a different not, Wahbi has revealed that she has turned down an offer to star in a new Egyptian film she received while holding concerts in Egypt. She was offered to costar in the film “Allimbi”, but told the director that she needed time to think and was not sure she is ready for acting.
Haifa expressed her anger at tabloids for accusing her of "lacking any singing talent" and said she does not consider herself a singer but rather a performer. She added that she does not even compare herself to any singer for she is not even close to where they are.
Wahbi is currently preparing for her new album saying that there is a possibility she will be working with a number of Gulf composers and poets. The singer has just signed a number of contracts to hold different performances all around the Arab world participating in different festivals.
Haifa has received offers to hold concerts in Syria, Egypt, Jordan, and the UAE. The singer has also received an offer to hold a tour in the US but turned it down saying that it is too early in her career to go on such a tour. - Albawaba.com
