Rotana Ordered to Pay EGP 2 Million Compensation to Sherine Abdelwahab
Sherine emphasized that she fully honoured her contractual obligations and had all songs ready for release. Mar 25, 2025 Rotana Ordered to Pay EGP two Million to Sherine Abdel-Wahab for Deleting Her Songs The Cairo Economic Court has ruled that Rotana must compensate Egyptian singer Sherine Abdel-Wahab with EGP two million for damages caused by the removal of two of her songs from YouTube and social media platforms. In a televised statement, Sherine explained that her contract with Rotana covered the production of 12 songs. While the second album was agreed upon by both parties, its release was not mandatory, nor was there a requirement for the album to be launched all at once. Instead, the company opted to release the songs as singles. She emphasized that she fully honoured her contractual obligations and had all songs ready for release. Despite this, Rotana allegedly sought to monopolize her live performances and refused to accept her songs to maintain control over her concert bookings—despite no contractual clause granting the company a share of her live performance revenues. In September 2024, amid her copyright battle with Rotana, Sherine made history as the first Arab artist to upload an entire album to WeTransfer, allowing fans to access it directly. The move was widely seen as a bold stand against restrictive music industry contracts.

Sherine to Perform Live in Kuwait on April 4
Egyptian superstar, Sherine Abdel-Wahab will perform live at the Kuwait International Fairground, in Mubarak Al-Abdullah, Kuwait, on Friday, April 4. She is set to present several of her popular and latest songs. Born on October 8, 1980, Sherine was first discovered as a child by her school music teacher, who convinced her mother to take her to the Cairo Opera House to meet veteran musician Selim Sahab. The acclaimed singer auditioned before him, who liked her voice a lot. She served as a choral member at the Cairo Opera House from the age of nine to twelve and was then given a chance to become a solo singer. Sherine kept performing at the Cairo Opera House while looking for a music producer to launch her professional career. Abdel-Wahab, 18, was introduced to director and music producer Nasr Mahrous, who liked her talented voice and decided to collaborate with her via 'Free Music' production company, where she met with superstar, Tamer Hosny, who was also a new talent-seeking opportunity. Her first recorded song was released in 2002 as a part of an album that included works of other artists. The album was released, under the title 'Free Mix3: Tamer and Sherine' and was a big hit all across the entire Middle East and North Africa. The album sold more than 20 Million copies across the whole MENA, particularly because of her single 'Ah ya Leil', which boosted her fame.
