Sherine Abdel Wahab Sparks Controversy During Kuwait Concert
Egyptian superstar Sherine Abdel Wahab delivered an emotional rollercoaster of a performance at Kuwait’s Sports Theater on [Date]. The concert, part of the "Road Rush" racing events, saw the songstress celebrate her iconic catalog while also touching on sensitive topics, leading to a mixed response from fans and experts alike.
The evening started with Abdel Wahab paying tribute to the late composer Mohamed Rahim, who had recently passed away. She recalled their collaborations, reminiscing about songs like "Sabry Little", "I’m in Love," "An Emotional Cord," and "Feelings," and encouraging the audience to recite Al-Fatiha, an Islamic prayer for the deceased.
However, a seemingly offhand comment during the tribute ignited controversy. "We are doing a bad thing," Abdel Wahab stated before quickly correcting herself. "I told you not to talk on the microphone now … it’s going to be a move," she joked, attempting to brush off the slip of the tongue.
The comment sparked a firestorm of reactions online, with some defending the singer as making an unintentional mistake while others criticized her words as disrespectful to Rahim’s memory.
Prominent journalist Najla Abu Al-Naga offered a measured perspective on her Facebook page, stating, "[Sherine] is one of the most talented and visible people, but she suffers from problems and temptations, and what happened to her was a slip of the tongue and she needs support."
Poet Abdel Rahim Taye also weighed in, writing, “[Sherine] made a language mistake and…needs someone who understands the language to accompany her in the performances, the recitals and her conversations," emphasizing the importance of assistance in maintaining her public image.
Despite the controversy, Abdel Wahab’s performance was a vibrant mix of emotions and crowd interactions. She celebrated the announcement of a ceasefire in Lebanon, exclaiming, "Congratulations to the Lebanese people on the pause," and serenading the audience with her song "I Love You, Lebanon." She also playfully interacted with the audience, declaring her commitment to singlehood while performing her song "I Don’t Like This Talk," and adding a humorous twist with the song "Honey of My Life," declaring, "Black Honey!" with a playful grin.
Abdel Wahab’s setlist included a selection of fan favorites like "Al-Kadabeen," "Kada Ya Qalbi," and "Katar Khairy,” as well as a heartfelt rendition of Umm Kulthum’s classic "One Thousand and One Nights."
This marked Abdel Wahab’s first regional concert since the release of her latest album, "I Wish I Forget You," which is currently available on digital platforms. The concert was attended by industry figures like distributor Touma, poets Muhammad Madin and Bahaa El-Din Muhammad, and her daughters Maryam and Here.
