When you're in a relationship, the rule is that "you can look but you can't touch." But according to Moroccan artist Mayssa Maghrebi's fans, she doesn't play by that rule!

The singer was heavily criticised by her fans for a video with her best bud singer Saad el Mjarad, which was leaked from a friend's birthday party, reported Al Watan Voice.

The two appeared to be quite close at some point during the party, despite the fact that Mayssa's hubby was present too!

What is it they did that was so "bad"? Mayssa gave Saad an "intimate hug," according to what her fans saw in the video.

Shock horror! 

Maysaa and Saad have been friends for a very long time - before he even became a singer - and the hug she gave him was totes innocent, she explained.

But many of her fans weren't happy with her hugging another man while she's still married!

"The hug was nothing but a normal gesture between very close friends," Mayssa said.

She told her critics that she finds no reason whatsoever for them to be mad at her, according to alyaoum24.

The singer then went on to explain that she hugged Saad at the time to tell him that her voice was tired and she wouldn't be able to sing with him at the party.

"That's when my dress got stuck in his belt," she explained. "Saad is like a brother to me and an close friend of my family and my husband." 

The 32-year-old artist added, "I have a good reputation between my colleagues and friends in the entertainment world and in my personal life as well. It's just that some people like to stir things up every once in a while."

"The weird thing is that some starlets have immoral videos and pictures posted of them all the time, yet nobody says a word about them," Mayssa said.
