Cairo’s Northern Court will give a final verdict next month for the lawsuit filed by Lebanese singer Nicole Saba against production company Digital Sound.
Nicole has an ‘intervention contract’ with Digital, which requires the company to handle the star’s publicity and public relations.
Nicole claims that the company failed to meet the set conditions of her contract she signed with them in July 2004, in turn negatively affecting her singing career.
According to the London based daily, Alsharq Al Awsat, the two-year contract specifically stated that the company must produce an album for Nicole every year that is no less than 45 minutes long, and is responsible for sponsoring all her live concerts as well as executing her promotional campaigns.
Nicole asserted that a year after signing the contract, Digital Sound failed to meet any of its obligations, despite the singer’s constant requests.
Nicole has asked the court to fine Digital Sound 1.5 million Egyptian pounds for breaking the terms of the contract, along with 1 million USD in compensation.
Nicole also reported that the crisis between her and producer Muhsin Jaber, owner of Alam El Phan Production Company, continues.
A dispute erupted between Nicole and Muhsin after he repeatedly postponed the release of her upcoming album, prompting Nicole to file a lawsuit.
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.
Nicole claims that Muhsin purposely neglected to complete the production of her new album for release this summer, in addition to his refusal to film a new music video.
The singer’s contract with Muhsin clearly states that he must produce three albums for her in the course of three years.
Muhsin has only produced one album for Nicole, prompting her to file the suit.
