Commenting on the uproar caused by his statements a few days ago and his criticism of the political class in his country and the affirmation of his belonging to the Emirates, the Lebanese artist, Ragheb Alama, confirmed that it was the politicians of Lebanon who destroyed him, as he put it.
He added, in a statement to “Al Arabiya.net”, that these people did not, and will not, and will never represent him, referring to the officials, amid the stifling crisis that his country has been witnessing for years that afflicted all aspects of life.
He also added that homeland means dignity, and not just a patch of land, considering that “whoever does not like his statements, let him drink from the sea,” according to him.
“traitors”
In addition, he saw that Lebanese officials have become witnesses to the humiliation of the people, without moving a finger, which is considered a “betrayal of the homeland.”
He also touched on the problems of electricity, water, medicine, gasoline and the problems of banks, referring to the depth of the crisis that Lebanon has been experiencing for years.
Ragheb Alama
supporter and opposer
It is noteworthy that the name of the Lebanese artist, Ragheb Alama, was at the forefront of social networking sites after announcing his acquittal of his Lebanese nationality.
After the statements of the “Super Star”, opinions and comments were divided, some demanded the withdrawal of his citizenship, while others saw that the expression betrayed him, between affirming his love for his country and other countries that respect their citizens and provide care and safety for them.
As for technically, Alama released a single, a month ago, entitled “Talili” in the Egyptian dialect, which was widely successful.
