He emphasized, “My music doesn’t have any kind of ‘exotic’ music… I’m a huge fan of the Egyptians, their culture and their history, which is why I chose the iconic Pyramids of Giza to play songs on my new album.”
The statement concluded by saying, “Don’t spread misinformation and hatred online that could derail this event that will bring positive and international attention to Egypt, its economy and its magnificent treasures. I urge you to do everything you can to allow the event to take place.”
