Kamel prays for guidance for Saad Al-Soghair

Artist Mustafa Kamel said that he will not be able to help Saad because the union does not interfere in drug and prostitution cases, and he wished him guidance and a solution to this crisis.

Hamo Beka and the Musicians Syndicate

On the other hand, Kamel explained that he stops a number of festival artists from working without announcing it so as not to give them the desired fame. Regarding Hamo Beka, he was allowed to sing again after his crisis was resolved, but at the same time, the head of the union sent him a message saying: “Whoever makes light of himself for the sake of the union being insulted, I will consider him an offender to it. If you make light of yourself again in order to attract attention, I will make you stay home.”
