Lebanese former singer Fadel Shaker is causing trouble in the music world even long after leaving it.

Rumor has it that the outspoken Lebanese actress Nadine el Rassi is being by targeted by a group of unidentified men, who have been allegedly linked to Shaker. 

But what has Nadine got to do with the singer-turned-militant?

Last year, Nadine openly expressed her hatred for Shaker and his actions against the Lebanese army. In an interview on the TV talk show "Al Muttaham" (The Accused), Nadine said that "I really hate Fadel Shaker for attacking the Lebanese army," adding that she knows how to use a weapon and would fight alongside the army should they need her support.

This has apparently triggered a series of failed attacks on the actress by men who are believed to be working with or closely connected to Shaker, according to Al Watan Voice news.

Nadine has had to hire an entourage of private security to accompany her from home and to the filming location of her upcoming TV series "Love Story," after a number of unidentified foreign men tried to get to her on the set of the show.

In another incident, two men were caught sneaking under Nadine's car, which resulted in a complete alteration of her filming schedule in order to keep any attackers at bay.
