Controversial Egyptian singer Ruby is currently on a European tour, marking the first in her career, alongside her business manager and discoverer Sharif Sabri.
The tour began in London and lasted three days, in which Ruby held several performances. After her London stop, Ruby flew to Milan to attend the finale of the Music Video Festival, making her the first Arab singer to be invited to the annual event.
According to the London based Elaph, Ruby’s participation in the festival came after one of her music videos was aired on the News Network Euro News. The singer is expected to remain in Italy for a few days after which she will head to Egypt to begin work on her upcoming album.
on a different note, Ruby and Sharif are facing a new lawsuit filed by lawyer Nabieh Al Wahish, who is demanding that the ‘Egyptian Musician Association’ cancel her membership.
Nabieh asserted the singer should be stripped of her membership, which he believes was acquired in an unlawful manner.
Nabieh stated that he will not be satisfied only ousting the singer from the Association, but he will fight to have her banned from the music industry, claiming she is unfit as a performer since “she only attempts to seduce people and is a bad example to all Egyptians.”
Al Wahish is famous for filing lawsuits against female singers, whom he feels are an insult to Arab sensibilities. The last lawsuit he filed was against Tunisian singer Najla, and it is said that he was the main reason behind her being banned from performing in Egypt.
