Syrian singer Asala addressed recent speculation regarding a dispute with Lebanese artist Maya Diab, emphasizing that the memories they shared were filled with beautiful moments.

Speaking at a press conference held in Beirut, one day before her highly anticipated concert at Forum De Beirut on Saturday, Asala explained that she met Maya around five years ago through their mutual friend Nicola Gebran. She noted that Maya used to cook delicious meals for her and that they enjoyed many pleasant moments together.

Asala clarified that the distance between them resulted from her travels and the demands of work and life. She expressed surprise at Maya’s recent statements, admitting that she initially thought they were fabricated using artificial intelligence, but later realized they were genuine. She added: "There are only good days between us. Maya has only done beautiful things, and I have too."

Asala Reassures Fans About Angham

During the conference, Asala expressed her happiness to be in Lebanon and her excitement to meet her fans. She also reassured attendees about the health of singer Angham, explaining that she keeps in touch with updates through their mutual friend, Mohammed Haddad. In response to a question about young artists serving as judges on talent shows, Asala emphasized that it’s not a matter of age but of "instinct and experience," citing Rami Sabry and Ahmed Saad as examples of artists with such expertise.

The Dispute Between Asala and Maya Diab

The tension between the two artists had escalated recently after Asala avoided mentioning Maya and her work during a press conference held prior to her performance at the Jerash Festival. Maya Diab had previously expressed that she hoped not to have to hold a press conference to reveal details about their relationship that the public does not know.
