Syndicate of Artists intervenes
The Egyptian Syndicate of Artists announced its solidarity with Amer against the slander campaign targeting her.
A legal committee of senior lawyers has been formed to follow up on the matter and take the necessary measures, it explained, based on the syndicate's role in protecting and defending its members.
The Syndicate affirmed that Amer is a great artist 'of whom we are proud,' and that she has an honorable artistic career and has demonstrated remarkable patriotic and humanitarian views.

Oualid & Fares Sokkar Join Forces on Summer Pop-Shaabi 'Bosso Alih'

Produced by YAM and Janno, the track is a flirty bop built for late-night spins and summer flings that blur into obsession. Jul 29, 2025 Moroccan-Egyptian rapper and singer Oualid has teamed up with mahraganat prodigy Fares Sokkar on a 'Bosso Alih', a flirty bop built for late-night spins and summer flings that blur into obsession. Produced by YAM and Janno, the track touches on themes of desire, longing and infatuation in a way that feels as sincere as playful. Oualid opens the song with a smooth delivery and poetic lyricism, painting his muse like a vision out of a daydream. Then Fares storms in with full-blown shaabi attitude, sharp, cheeky and completely lovestruck, flipping between cocky one-liners and raw romantic meltdowns - a counterpoint to Oualid's lowkey romanticism. At the centre of it all, the refrain 'Bosso Alih' serves as somewhat of a public service announcement, repeated with the urgency of someone spellbound. The music video for 'Bosso Alih' mirrors the track's playful nature and the artists' chemistry.
