Head of the Egyptian Musician’s Union, musician Hassan Abu Al Soud announced that the Council for the Management of the Union decided to ban Lebanese singer Nicole Saba from performing in Egypt, until she resolves her legal disputes with Egyptian production company ‘Alam El Phan.’

 

The council based its decision on the complaint filed against her by her former producer Muhsin Jaber, owner of ‘Alam El Phan.’

 

Jaber filed a complaint against her claiming that she violated the terms of their contract, by filming music videos with different music channels, stated Nicole.

 

Nicole explained that she appeared as a guest on a program aired by a satellite music channel, and during the program, the host requested that she perform a song. Nicole did so, and the director of the program filmed Nicole’s performance as if it was a music video, later airing it on the network.

 

People in the entertainment world were shocked to learn of the problems between the two parties, especially since they were known to be on excellent terms.

 

Despite the difficulties Nicole encountered at the beginning of her career, she has overcome the obstacles and risen to the top.
