Then he was surprised by the quick decision to suspend him from his job!
The singer revealed that the group’s WhatsApp chats proved his innocence and denied the accusations of the musician, who left the work of his own free will, noting that he initially agreed to an amicable reconciliation, but verbal abuse forced him to refrain, go to the police and file an official complaint against the musician. He regretted the decision to suspend because he has been working with official permits since he was thirteen.

The source completely denied that the singer was attacked or harassed by union officials or employees and emphasized that there was a verbal altercation and a mutual conflict between Salma and the percussionist who was working with him. He explained that the union summoned them only to investigate their grievances and the decision to suspend them was made as part of work-organization procedures, stressing that the union is not a party to this personal dispute.
This acute incident creates a new episode in a series of intense crises recently attended by a syndicate of music professionals led by the artist Mostafa Kamel, and opens the door to questions from the public: will the investigations and security services be able to end this crisis, or do the scenes of the dispute hide other surprises that have yet to be revealed?
