Sherine Abdel-Wahab has made a veiled swipe at American presidential hopeful Donald Trump. The Egyptian pop-star and The Voice Ahla Sawt mentor made the comments in a Beirut press conference recently, in the lead up to Saturday night's live finale of the third season of the MBC talent show.
“I don’t like politics and I don’t like delving into politics,” she said. “But not anyone in America can speak about us and insult us and say we shouldn’t be let us into his country, especially considering how little he knows about us and about our talents.”
Abdel-Wahab's comments indirectly refers to Trump controversial call to temporarily bar Muslims from entering the US. For more on her comments, read Arts and Life on December 23 for our preview of the The Voice Ahla Sawt season finale.
• Tune in on Saturday night to MBC1 & MBC Masr for the finale of Season 3 of The Voice Ahla Sawt at 10pm. For more information, visit www.mbc.net
