The famous Egyptian art critic, Tariq Al-Shennawy, wrote in “Egyptian todayThe musician Talal is Prince Khaled bin Fahd, who brought back the artist, Najat Al Saghira, to the spotlight through the song “Kol Al Kalam” in 2017 following a long hiatus.
The famous Saudi artist said that he used to own a company called “Sawt Al-Jazeera” before he was surprised that “the name was kidnapped” from him for another company, adding: “I went to the Ministry of Commerce and filed a protest, and they said we can do nothing. I went to the Ministry of Information and they said we cannot do anything. I went to a senior lawyer and he told me to take your money and go to reconcile with him.”
He added, “I escalated the issue and complained to his father (the father of the musician Talal),” explaining that the father “applied justice” following he said: “Whoever precedes a day has the right to name,” without caring regarding his son, according to Abdo’s expression.
Later, the singer known as the “Artist of the Arabs” agreed with the musician’s lawyer, Talal, to “deliver all contracts with other artists, including Talal Maddah. And I said present. And to support the brothers of your name, Arts Al-Jazeera, and I am the voice of Al-Jazeera, then the problem was resolved,” according to Muhammad Abdo. .
Abdo indicated that this story was among the reasons that led him to stay away from singing, which was a 4-year hiatus, but today he admits that he escalated the issue too much.
He added that he was going through “many psychological problems” during that time, noting that his “escalation of the situation” at that time “upset” the legal person from him. And he added, “If this situation happened today, I would not only give him the company, but the children would be with the company, because he is a generous and magnanimous man.”
In the same meeting, the Saudi artist returned to his controversial statements, which he was famous for during the past years.
And he said, “Muhammad Abdo is the maker of the Saudi song with pride,” adding: “I have not met anyone who fears God, but loves Muhammad Abdo. He who does not fear God does not love Muhammad Abdo. I swear to God, I found many (people) saying to me: I hate you for the sake of God.” “.
