Social media platforms witnessed widespread circulation of a video showing Lebanese singer Mohamed Fadl Shaker in a deeply emotional moment while performing his famous song “Keefak A’Firaqi” on the Abu Bakr Salem stage as part of Riyadh Season 2025. The clip went viral, drawing unprecedented audience engagement, as Shaker appeared visibly moved and emotional amidst the crowd, who joined him in singing and applauding enthusiastically.

The duet with his father, artist Fadl Shaker, stirred the audience’s emotions, blending Mohamed’s tears with the crowd’s applause, creating a musical moment full of feeling and intensity. The video quickly spread across social media platforms, with users sharing it widely and commenting to express their appreciation and emotional response to the scene.

Dropping of Charges In a related context, media sources citing informed insiders reported that the Lebanese prosecutorial authority is currently considering dropping some of the charges against the artist, particularly the charge of “insulting an Arab state,” which some believe is no longer legally valid following recent political changes.

It is worth noting that Mohamed Fadl Shaker surrendered to the Lebanese authorities in early October after years of hiding in the Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp in southern Lebanon, following the issuance of long-term absentia sentences against him on various charges.
