The hashtags related to the cancellation of Asala Nasri's concert at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Cairo on May 5th have dominated social media, with some welcoming the event while others criticized the performance of a non-Egyptian singer at such a landmark. Some reminded others of Asala's statements in Saudi Arabia, where she said that "the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is fully credited for building her stardom," which many considered a "denial of Egypt's role" in her artistic career. In her first comment after calls to cancel her concert, the Syrian artist stated on her Twitter account, "Egypt has increased my fame and glory, and I have only added new love for the great Egypt."
