Singer Assala Nasri stirred up speculation with a tweet about honesty and betrayal, which she shared with her followers on X (formerly Twitter). She wrote:
اضافة اعلان"Integrity is not divisible. An honest person does not deceive, betray, lie, exploit, or oppress – and the opposite is also true."
Fans quickly flooded the comments section, with many speculating that her post was directed at her ex-husband, Tarek Al-Arian. This comes just over five days after Tarek issued a statement regarding the controversy surrounding the song "60 Daqiqa Hayat", which was a past collaboration between him and Assala.
Supporters expressed their unwavering backing for Assala, with one fan commenting:
"Don't worry! Your voice is still here, and you continue to release amazing albums. As for your old songs, we already have them saved on our phones – we don’t need YouTube!"
Another wrote:
"You are absolutely right. Integrity is an essential value that cannot be divided. A truly honest person embodies noble qualities such as truthfulness, justice, and loyalty. Integrity is not only about major matters but also the small details."
A third admirer added:
"You will always be one of the greatest Arab singers, an iconic Syrian artist, and the voice behind legendary hits like 'Mab'aash Ana,' 'Asfa,' 'Samahtek Ktir,' 'Ya Majnoun,' and 'Yismahuli El Kol.' You can still create dozens of hit albums!"
Meanwhile, in a clarification statement, Tarek Al-Arian confirmed two days ago that YouTube had ruled in his favor regarding the production, publishing, and distribution rights of "60 Daqiqa Hayat". After presenting official documents supporting his claim, the platform automatically removed the song from Assala’s channel.
His statement read:
"The real reason behind the removal of '60 Daqiqa Hayat' from YouTube was my submission of official documents proving my rights to its publishing and distribution. The deletion was carried out directly from the artist Assala’s account."
