Controversial Egyptian singer Ruby attended the soccer game between Egypt and Senegal, which resulted in a victory for Egypt that has advanced them to the final round of the African Soccer Championship.
On a different note, Ruby’s agent, Sharif Sabri, revealed that he will film a new music video for Ruby for the song "Misheet Wara Ihsas" (I Followed a Feeling) from Ruby’s upcoming album scheduled for release this summer. Filming will take place in Sharm El Sheikh.
Ruby, whose name is originally Rania Hussein Tawfiq, refuses to answer back to the attacks against her published by various tabloid papers, particularly after she releases a new music video.
Ruby stated, "I do not even bother to read such magazines and newspapers that only publish lies about stars." Such lies are created by tabloids to make more money, noted Ruby.
Ruby asserted that "A person should concentrate on the things that he or she enjoys, and that make a difference in their life, instead of being occupied with rumors created by sick individuals."
The singer believes that her music videos are neither provocative nor insulting. Ruby said, "It is very normal for a singer to appear in a belly dancing costume," as was the case in her clip "Inta Aref Leah" (You Know Why).
Ruby asserted that she is a respectable singer and has fans of all ages from the Arab world and abroad.
Regarding her style, Ruby announced that she always maintains her dignity, claiming that since she appeared on the scene, Egyptian singers can now compete with Lebanese singers on all levels.
She credits her discovery to prominent Egyptian director Yousif Shahin, who first presented her in one of his films.
