Abo El Anwar Returns in New Colour With ‘AFTARAT'
Produced by Egyptian beatmaker Tayyab, the track blends shaabi with pop and hip-hop elements. Jun 13, 2025 Egyptian rapper Abo El Anwar has just released 'AFTARAT', a shaabi-infused track that has him experimenting well beyond his comfort zone. Rising above the chaos of the rap scene in full swagger, Abo El Anwar trades his classic rapid bars for more melodic flows, using sleek worldplay to capture his life under the pressure of fame, but with unwavering confidence and bravado. Produced by rising Egyptian beatmaker Tayyab–known for his works with rap stars like Muhab, Begad and Ahmed Santa–the track explores a colourful musical palette, blending shaabi rhythms with pop sensibilities and hip-hop elements. As vulnerable as he is assertive, Abo El Anwar touches on themes of betrayal and escapism, contrasting fleeting highs with the emptiness of fame and fake opportunistic friendships. While he flexes his material wins, like travelling to Spain and buying a new apartment, he also acknowledges the emotional disassociation and prolonged burnout that comes with trying to hold up a certain facade in the toxic music industry. But beneath the punchy delivery, he reveals a sharp awareness of the instability around him, and his refusal to let it shake his sense of self and his artistic vision.

The Real Reason Thor Didn't Show Up for "Guardians Vol. 3"
Yara Sameh James Gunn has opened up about the reason behind not putting Thor in his highly beloved 'The Guardians of the Galaxy' franchise, even against the studio that produced it. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly , Gunn said he fought back against the MCU's connected timeline after he saw Thor join the Guardians in the 'Avengers: Endgame' finale. 'I said in the script notes: 'I'm not gonna put him in. I don't want to have Thor in the Guardians. I don't want to do a movie with Thor,'' Gunn explained. 'I don't understand the character that much. I love watching his movies and I love Chris Hemsworth as a guy. I don't understand how to write that character.' Gunn also discussed teasing Will Poulter as Adam Warlock in the post-credit scene of 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.' Although it panned out with the character's major role in 'Guardians 3,' at the time, it felt like 'fitting a square peg into a round hole.' 'I did not like what I did in 'Guardians 2' where we set up Adam Warlock and we set up the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and we set up all this shit that I didn't necessarily plan on,' Gunn noted. 'Well, I guess I kind of planned on fulfilling that promise, but you want to be careful about that. The way a post-credits scene works is a punch to the face, like, 'Oh my God! Look at this.' At times when you're using it just solely to set something up, sometimes you're screwing yourself over. It was not easy to work Adam Warlock into 'Guardians 3.'' Things also panned out with Thor's arc with the Guardians. Gunn said 'Thor: Love and Thunder' director Taika Waititi took on the burden of connecting Thor with the Guardians, leaving him with complete creative flexibility for 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.' 'They chose to have that ending in editing,' Gunn told Rolling Stone at the time. 'And I didn't think it was gonna be in there. 'Endgame' came out right after I decided to do 'Guardians' again. So I didn't have much say in what was in 'Endgame,' and then it came out and then I was like, 'What the fuck am I gonna do?' That's when [Marvel Studios president] Kevin [Feige] told me Taika's gonna do 'Thor,' and we'll have the Guardians in it. I said 'Thank God!' … To be completely honest, Thor was never going to be in this movie. Taika took a bullet for me. Because I was not going to have him in. I was just gonna start up and there's no Thor.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand
