Lebanese singer Haifa Wahbi denied recent rumors that she had publicly insulted a number of prominent singers like Egyptian Hani Shaker, Amr Diab and Syrian Asalah Nasri. Haifa stressed that the news holds no truth to it and was created by people who only want to hurt her image.
Haifa’s managing office also strongly denied all allegations stressing that Haifa holds great respect for these singers and looks up to them as the leaders in the music industry.
It was rumored that Hani Shaker had refused to answer Haifa back, after she had attacked him publicly. Hani stated that he refuses to make any comments regarding such attacks stressing that anything Haifa had to say about him is of no significance.
Rumors stated that Haifa publicly attacked a number of prominent singers like Hani, Diab and Nasri saying that their stardom has faded out and will never be as famous as they used to be since she appeared on the scenes. Haifa added that her popularity has grown and is spreading internationally making people forget singers like Hani.
These statements by Haifa caused anger to break out. Hani stressed that from the moment he entered the music industry he has been widely known and he has earned his popularity. He added that he was never disrespected any singer and made rude comments against anyone, but rather always focused on his career.
Hani said that his career began among some of the most prominent singers of Arabic music like the late Egyptian legend Abdul Haleem Hafez and that generation of singers taught him how to take charge of his career and how to deal with all kinds of problems.
