5 Most shocking statements made by Arab celebrities in 2016

Enas al Dughaidi: This controversial Egyptian director told us in 2016 that she doesn’t believe in everything God has to say. So it was no surprise when she added that “sex before marriage isn’t forbidden,” but not before declaring marriage as “just piece of paper.” We take it she's single and ready to mingle?

Ahlam: Surely you were expecting to see the Emirati singer’s name on this year’s list too. In 2016, she boiled Lebanese people's blood after referring to them as “nothing more than falafel vendors and beggars,” while instructing them to “deal with their trash problem instead of talking about their ‘Queen Ahlam.’”

Murtada Mansour: Egypt’s favorite madman has it in for Lebanese star Maya Diab. When she told him she gave zero effs about what he thought of her, he bit back, saying that she’s a transsexual with goat legs, adding that “God will have a special place for her in hell.”

Maya Diab: The ever opinionated Lebanese singer announced that she has invented her own religion in 2016. Sounds like Family Guy’s “Church of the Fonz”! The Christian starlet admitted that "I've invented the religion of love because my own religion, and all other religions, have too many issues and requirements." Amen!

Myriam Klink: When Lebanon’s top comedian, Nemr Abou Nassar, made fun of the Lebanese model-turned-singer’s “music career,” she ferociously called him a “gay a**hole” and a “b*tch.” Meowww!
