Syrian artist Hossam Jneed spoke in an interview with the program "Al-Mokhtar" on City FM radio about the previous disputes with his wife, Syrian artist "Emarat Razaq," which led him to announce his intention to divorce via his Facebook page. He noted that he is impulsive and emotional, and that the post was simply a way for him to vent.
Regarding the sudden disagreements, Jneed speculated that they might be due to magic or envy from others, as they experienced illogical problems until their situation stabilized after the birth of their latest child, "Ehsas." He confirmed that he reads the Quran and plays it at home to bring tranquility and ward off the evil eye.
On another note, the Syrian artist believed that singing at the Syrian Opera House would not add anything to his career, as his passion and ambition lie in performing at Carthage. He also mentioned that the Artists' Syndicate took an antagonistic stance against him because he requested a union card, which was not granted due to his lack of a high school diploma. He expressed his surprise by asking, "Why do you allow me to sing and classify me as a lead singer despite not recognizing me?"
Jneed discussed a problem he had with fellow Syrian artist Hossam Tahsin Bek, mentioning that he was unaware that the song "Jayteny Mkhbaya" belonged to Bek. He considered this a mistake shared by him and his team. He felt that Hossam Tahsin Bek scolded him in a hurtful manner, which led him not to communicate further with him.
As for his opinion on his colleague Syrian artist Ali Al-Dik, he said that Al-Dik remained the same and did not change, indicating that the emergence of his brother, Syrian artist Hussein Al-Dik, negatively affected him. Regarding the songs performed by Wadi Al-Sheikh, Jneed stated that he does not take pride in this type of music and would rather be idle at home than return to performing this style. He added: "When we used to sing this genre in Lebanon, they described us as ‘noor’ (light). I have old concerts that I seek to delete because I am not satisfied with what I sang in them, and these lyrics do not suit me as a father or husband."
Hossam Jneed indicated that he did not expect to face these difficult days, which have negatively impacted artists economically due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related decisions such as border closures and the halt of concerts. This situation has significantly affected artists' income and his personally, highlighting that his main fear now is returning to a life of poverty.
