The Egyptian Musicians Association has announced that it intends on taking legal actions against the latest Egyptian sensation Ruby and is trying to find out her exact place of residence to place her under interrogation. The singer had changed her place of residence and it is stated that the only person who knows where she lives is Egyptian director Sharif Sabri, who directed her two music videos.
According to the London based daily, Al Quds Al Arabi, the association has demanded that the singer be placed under arrest and legal actions be taken against her for breaking the law and singing without obtaining a permit from the association, which is the law for any singer who wishes to practice the profession.
Recently, a Member of the Egyptian Musicians Association musician Hassan Abu Al Su’ood has publicly dropped a bombshell by announcing that Egyptian singer Ruby has attempted to enter the association under a phony alias, but was caught in time and her attempt failed. He added that they went through all the legal papers that include the names of all their members and Ruby’s name was not among them.
Hassan added that Ruby is illegally practicing the profession of singing, which demands that legal actions must be taken against her. He stressed that anyone who attempts to practice singing without being a member of the association must be prosecuted by serving a jail sentence or paying a large fine.
It was added that Ruby will undergo investigation and questioning for breaking the law and her prosecution is definite since aside from not belonging to the association, she has released two music videos, which are deemed inappropriate for television viewers.
The Association had previously filed a complaint against Ruby for singing without obtaining a permit and not being a part of the association, which every singer must be a member of. The Association also decided to file a second lawsuit against the production company that produced Ruby’s songs and filmed them in the form of a video clip, which is considered an illegal act according to the Association’s article 8 of their laws and regulations for 2003.
The officials of the association also discussed the improper and shameful appearance of Ruby in both of her music videos, which were directed by Sabri. In the first video Ruby appears in a belly dancer’s costume dancing in the streets, and in the second she is wearing a very indecent red dress and a training suit, which reveals most of her body. In the second clip Ruby is basically seductively moving her body without dancing just highlighting her most attractive features. –Albawaba.com
