The one who acquired Moroccan nationality in 2011, following a decree of King Mohammed VI (Dahir), married a Moroccan woman and has Moroccan children, praises Moroccan hospitality. “Morocco is a country that welcomed me, this symbolic gesture is intended to thank it. I wanted to show my gratitude to the kingdom and its king,” added the interpreter of ‘My country’, before insisting: “As an artist, I sing in many countries around the world, I do not wish to have trouble with my country. I did not target Algeria by paying homage to Morocco and its king. »

The singer will conclude: “My song “Chokran” is simply a humble gift as a sign of gratitude to Morocco, which is a country with great traditions, a beautiful history and which is used to welcoming, with open arms, people from everywhere. […] Paying homage to one country does not in any way mean denigrating another.”
