In a remarkable gesture that captivated millions, global pop icon Shakira surprised her fans in Egypt and the Arab world with a spontaneous video she posted on her official Instagram account, in which she spoke Arabic with remarkable fluency, announcing her great enthusiasm for her upcoming concert at the foot of the ancient Giza Pyramids on April 7.

The Colombian star of Lebanese descent appeared in the video with a radiant smile, addressing her Egyptian fans directly in a charming Arabic accent: "Hello and welcome, I'm Shakira, I'm so happy to be performing in Egypt, in Giza and at the Pyramids, I love you all." She concluded her message with an air kiss, sparking a wave of positive reactions on social media platforms, where users shared the clip widely, praising the star's appreciation for her Arab audience and her eagerness to connect with them in their native language.

This concert is of particular importance as it marks Shakira's historic return to Egypt after a long absence of nearly 19 years. In 2007, Shakira performed for the first time in front of the Pyramids in a legendary concert that remains etched in the memory of the Egyptian public. Today, she returns at the peak of her artistic maturity as part of her new world tour, "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour," inspired by her latest album, which achieved phenomenal global success.

From an organizational standpoint, the concert is being held in collaboration with Venture Lifestyle and has witnessed unprecedented public demand. Organizers announced that tickets for the first three stages (Wave 1, 2, and 3) sold out immediately upon release, reflecting the immense eagerness of the Egyptian and Arab public to attend this exceptional event. The concert is expected to blend the allure of Pharaonic history with the vibrancy of Latin music, featuring hits like "Hips Don't Lie" and "Waka Waka" resonating under the Cairo sky.

In a broader context, hosting such international events in the Giza Pyramids area is a strategic step that enhances Egypt's position on the global leisure tourism map. In recent years, the pyramids area has become a preferred destination for A-list celebrities from around the world, directly contributing to the promotion of Egyptian tourism and conveying a sophisticated image of Egypt's ability to organize major artistic events, thus linking the richness of its history with the modernity of contemporary art.

It is worth noting that Shakira has always expressed her pride in her Arab roots, which adds a special emotional character to her concerts in the Arab region, where the audience considers her one of them, and not just a visiting international star, which promises an unforgettable artistic night in the history of concerts in Egypt.

Jordanian actor Munther Rayahneh recently sparked widespread controversy on social media and search engines after threatening to take legal action against online entities and pages that have been spreading false news and rumors about his personal and professional life. This escalation by the Arab star comes as part of his efforts to put an end to the phenomenon of fake news, which has become a source of concern for many celebrities lately.

Context of the event: Artists' battle against online rumors

Munther Rayahneh's threat to take legal action was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather the culmination of a series of inaccurate reports targeting him. Rayahneh is considered one of the most prominent figures in pan-Arab drama, having achieved widespread fame through his impactful roles in Jordanian, Egyptian, and Syrian productions. His most notable success was his role in the Emmy Award-winning series "The Invasion," in addition to his recent strong presence in Egyptian dramas, such as his role in the series "Jaafar Al-Umda." This considerable success has made him a prime target for trending topics, where baseless stories have been fabricated.

Legal background and the impact of rumors

Rihana's move falls within a broader legal context, as cybercrime laws in Jordan, Egypt, and other Arab countries allow for the prosecution of those who publish false news and engage in defamation. Legal experts believe that artists resorting to the judiciary is the most effective step to deter these practices, which go beyond freedom of expression and amount to moral harm and defamation.

Social and artistic impact

The significance of this event transcends Munther Rayahneh's personal situation, highlighting the issue of "cyber extortion" and the "trend obsession" that dominates the digital landscape. These rumors negatively impact not only the artist but also his family and social circle, potentially causing serious psychological and professional damage. Rayahneh's firm stance is expected to encourage his colleagues in the artistic community to take similar steps, which could contribute to purging the online space of misleading content.

In conclusion, Munther Rayahneh affirms through this stance that his primary focus remains on presenting artistic works that elevate the public's taste, and that electronic interference will not deter him from his creative journey, while reserving his full right to respond through legal means.

The famous festival performer Hamo Beka was an exceptional guest on the Ramadan prank show “Ramez Level the Monster”, in an episode characterized by excitement and dark comedy, as the star Ramez Galal continued to practice his favorite hobby of directing sarcastic criticisms and fiery introductions that have become a trademark of his annual program, which sparked a wide wave of interaction across social media platforms immediately after the episode was shown.

A frank confrontation and embarrassing questions

The episode featured a direct confrontation with Ramez Galal, who posed a series of personal and professional questions to his guest, Hamo Bika. Bika revealed his true age, confirming he is 37. Amidst the fierce competition in the popular music scene, Ramez put Bika in a difficult position, forcing him to choose between stars Reda El Bahrawy and Hassan Shakoush. Bika settled the debate with his personal opinion, declaring his support for his colleague Hassan Shakoush, whom he described as "number one" in this genre of music today—a statement expected to spark controversy among the two stars' fans.

Behind the scenes of prison and personal crises

The episode was not without its human and revealing aspects, as the conversation touched upon the crises Hamo Bika has faced throughout his career. With complete candor, Bika explained that his record of major crises is limited to only two, surprisingly revealing that he had been imprisoned twice previously. In a gesture of loyalty, he emphasized that his wife was his sole support during those ordeals, being the only one who made a point of visiting him. In a sarcastic comment reflecting the severity of the prank he endured, Bika remarked that the prison experience was "easier" than the terror he experienced on Ramez Galal's show.

The atmosphere of "The Squid Game" and the psychology of the prank

This year's "Ramez Level the Monster" program is based on a dramatic and psychological plot inspired by the popular Korean series "Squid Game." Victims are lured into participating in a seemingly normal event with presenter Ellen Watfa. Things quickly take a turn for the worse when the guest is locked in a room and finds themselves face-to-face with Ramez Galal. This triggers a series of tests and surprises that put the guest under immense psychological and emotional pressure, explaining the intense and sometimes comical reactions from the celebrities.

A diverse guest list and a large audience

The program continues to attract a host of the Arab world's brightest stars, guaranteeing its top viewership ratings during Ramadan. The guest list for "Ramez Level the Monster" includes prominent names from the worlds of art and sports, among them actress Ghada Abdel Razek, actor Ahmed El Sakka, Hana El Zahed, Asmaa Galal, and Hamo Bika, who has become a familiar and popular face on prank shows due to his spontaneity and unpredictable reactions, which are hugely popular with viewers.
