Cheb Khaled is at the heart of a new controversy. And for good reason, the presence of the Moroccan flag, alongside those of Lebanon and Algeria, in the teaser of the clip for her song “Elle Is Called Beirut”, in solidarity with the country of the cedar following the drama of 4 August.
An appearance that angered some of his compatriots, reports the media Observalgérie. Visibly very upset against their idol, Algerian Internet users did not hesitate to call him a “traitor”, specifies the same source.
Attacks that the singer did not ignore. “They shame us. We must all be united on this earth which is going very badly at the moment. They focus on belonging to a country they dishonor, ”wrote Cheb Khaled on his official Instagram account. And to proudly claim that he is “above all a citizen of the world”.
This is not the first time that Algerians attack the singer because of his proximity to Morocco. “In July 2019, the Algerian singer had greatly irritated the Algerians by releasing a song in support of the Morocco team during CAN 2019, ”recalls the same online publication.
Cheb Khaled has had Moroccan nationality since 2013, Observalgerie recalls.
