ALBAWABA - After taking part in Ramez Galal's 2025 Ramadan prank program, Lebanese singer Nawal El Zoghbi responded to her detractors by stating that she is not troubled by the criticism and is just concerned with her fans.

The Reaction of El Zoghbi: "I Got Under Their Skin"
"It’s great to be on the show—I clearly got under their skin!" Nawal said in response to the outpouring of abuse.

"I honestly don't care about some people who are resentful and don't even like themselves," she said.  My relationship with my fans is what counts to me.

The days of conventional full-length music videos are coming to an end, according to El Zoghbi, who also discussed the concert and her forthcoming 2025 album.

"The days of making full-scale music videos like before are over," she said.  "I’ll be focusing more on audio releases, bringing fresh melodies and themes to the new album."

She said that she does not want to make music videos for every song, even if some would have visual accompaniment: "At most, I’ll film one or two music videos."

Citing artistic disagreements with current production firms, El Zoghbi will self-produce her record for the first time.
