News facts: Emirati star Ahlam Al Shamsi broke her silence regarding the reaction of her Egyptian colleague Angham in a press conference on the sidelines of the “Mawazine Festival,” where a journalist called her “Ahlam” instead of her name.
The Gulf singer responded via her official account on the “X” website to a post that stated that the situation offended the media institution that the journalist represents.
Al Shamsi said: “With all due respect to you, I apologize to you. Did you respond poorly?! My name is not an offense to anyone at all. I am Ahlam and she is Angham, and a female journalist had previously made a mistake with my name at a conference and called me by the name of another artist, and I responded at the time that I had the honor and a point.”
She added: “My name is not an insult, but rather an honor. What is certain is that a festival of the magnitude and value of ‘Mawazine’. Whoever invites a big name like Angham to participate in the nights will not intend to insult her, and our letters are close to each other. I repeat, my name is not an insult to any artist. Dreams of Sawt Al Khaleej is an honorable name.”
Angham expressed her dissatisfaction after the mistake in calling her.
