Sources Reveal Resolution of Dispute Between Lebanese Star Ragheb Alama and Egypt’s Musicians Syndicate

Well-informed sources have revealed the resolution of the dispute between Lebanese singer Ragheb Alama and the Egyptian Musicians Syndicate, headed by artist Mostafa Kamel. The conflict followed a controversy stirred by Alama’s recent concert in Egypt’s North Coast, during which a female fan took to the stage and behaved in a manner that some deemed inappropriate according to common artistic norms.

Despite the syndicate’s previous decision to temporarily suspend Alama from performing in Egypt and summon him for investigation, recent developments indicate a clear de-escalation. This shift follows direct communication between Alama and Mostafa Kamel, during which the Lebanese star expressed deep respect for Egypt, its people, and its cultural stature.

Ragheb Alama: “Egypt is my second home; what happened was unintentional”

In a private voice message sent to Mostafa Kamel, Alama clarified that what occurred during the concert was completely unintentional. He explained that the widely circulated image was “misleading,” depicting a spontaneous moment resulting from poor event coordination, rather than any deliberate action on his part.

Alama said in his message: "My brother, Captain Mostafa Kamel, Egypt is my second home. What happened was due to crowd pressure and people climbing on stage without coordination. I always make sure to respect the Egyptian audience and its traditions, and I reject any misinterpretation of my concerts."

He also expressed his desire to visit the Syndicate’s headquarters in the coming days, affirming that it is his “second home,” and emphasizing his full appreciation for the syndicate and its decisions. He stressed that he would never accept any misunderstanding that could damage his relationship with the Egyptian audience.

Syndicate’s Response: Appreciation and Willingness to Move Forward

For his part, Mostafa Kamel praised Alama’s gesture and swift communication, viewing it as a reflection of the strong, historic bond between Lebanese artists and the Egyptian audience. In a brief statement, he said: "We appreciate Ragheb’s desire to clarify the situation and his respect for the syndicate and Egypt’s position. We will handle the matter in a manner consistent with professional and artistic standards."

The syndicate had previously released a statement condemning what it called “inappropriate behavior” witnessed during the concert, affirming that Egypt’s stages must not host actions that offend public taste or violate social values — even if done in good faith or spontaneity.

Organizers Held Accountable for Poor Event Management

Additionally, the syndicate announced that it is preparing to take regulatory measures against the event’s organizing entity, holding it responsible for the incident on stage. The mishap was described as the result of “poor planning and a breach of proper artistic protocol.”

Amid mutual understanding and shared respect, the crisis appears to be easing. Fans of Ragheb Alama have called for a return to normalcy and for the beloved artist to resume performing in Egypt — as he has done for decades.
