The famous Egyptian musician Helmi Bakr has sparked controversy with his statements about the separation crisis of Egyptian artist Sherine Abdel Wahab from artist Hossam Habib, which has triggered various media reports. In a press seminar, Bakr stated, "Sherine Abdel Wahab did not divorce Hossam Habib; everything she did was part of the promotion for her new songs or, as they say, part of the trend."
He added, "Sherine is playing a double game to return to the spotlight, evidenced by her claims of Hossam Habib preventing her from freezing her eggs; such statements should not be made." Bakr considered her appearance after shaving her head a desire to stir controversy and trend on social media. He confirmed that the separation incident Sherine spoke about regarding Hossam Habib is not true, asserting that it is part of the promotion for her new album.
Sherine Abdel Wahab had announced her actual separation from singer Hossam Habib earlier this month in an official statement on her Facebook page, stating that the reasons for the separation are personal and that "there is no need to delve into the details of her private life."
