Lyricist and scriptwriter Ayman Bahjat Qamar revealed the nature of his differences with singer Hussein Al Jasmi, while hosting him on the “Al-Bunt Al-Arid” program on Al-Hayat channel.
During the meeting, Qamar said: “Hussain made a movement that frankly upset me. The first time I spoke regarding this issue, we went back to a stage where we are suffocating in concessions and the formula of concessions, there is no such thing as we are sisters, and there is no devil between us, and between us there is success and sweet chemistry, and I was surprised that he sold a formula A waiver means that there is no justification, its alternative is my rights and the rights of my children and grandchildren, its alternative means everything, as if I do not have any moral or material right in the song, without justification, and suddenly.”
And he continued: “I mean, we succeeded from the first (I love you, I miss you) to (in broad font) and (Hata from my heart), we thank God all the time have been successful together, and this year we downloaded a song for the series (Wust Al-Balad), and I told him, Hussein, the region is in the contracts. And these concessions are entered into by Satan, and I have never betrayed you in need, nor have I sent you a warning. It is enough that there are songs that I am not in charge of their digital rights, and he is dealing because I am the owner of a word and I have never coveted it.
He added: “And the dispute is not over digital rights. There is no dispute between me and Hussein over something. The dispute is over concessions. I want to take everything that is stipulated in the intellectual property law. I give it up, in rights that we don’t give up, like public performance, and re-publishing, if the song will be an advertisement.” Suppose someone wants to make it an announcement, I don’t agree.
And he continued: “Is there any accounts to see, what is left? What am I, what? What did I take? And there are things that happen, not a case, they are correspondences, I will not file a case, I will not file a case once morest one of my friends, these are correspondences to the account, I know why? Oh, what? I was on New Year’s Eve last year, and I found in a tower in the Emirates of a very famous company, a redistributor of the song (in bold), without asking my permission and not saying anything, for example, and he was silent out of respect for Hussein, I expected that they were friends.
Ayman Bahgat Qamar continued: “I am a very big history worker with Al Jasmi. He has a beautiful song. He works with Rabeh Saqr, the great artist. I work with Rashid Majid. I mean, as an Arab country, I do not work with all people. I do not want to forget anyone. If Hussein wants to work, I am present. He does not want to work. She was cute and didn’t work with me, and I didn’t miss anything, and I didn’t miss anything, I was singing songs with Amr Diab, the world was broken.”
He concluded: “If Hussein saw that I asked him for a strange request, or for example, I made a problem, or coveted a need. Stay away from people’s rights, take your right to the song that you treat, sing it in your concerts, sing it in the digital and relax, but stay away from the rights of my children.”
It is noteworthy that “Bilkhat Al Arid” program is shown on “Al-Hayat” screen weekly on Friday at 8 pm.
