Her father is ethnically Lebanese (Christian), born and raised in New York, so culturally she is from a completely different kettle of fish to Saudi. 5 1 1

tost1 Posted September 17, 2023 Posted September 17, 2023 I can assure you she didn't for a second think about her father's lebanese heritage when accepting that check 1 5
Mystic Boy Posted September 17, 2023 Posted September 17, 2023 3 hours ago, AvadaKedavra said: According to people in the west pop artists should never step foot in middle east again cause is always problematic....from qatar to israel to egypt to dubai...... but what about all the horrible things? USA/Europe did in the past and in the present. Why artists dont get cancelled cause they live or tour in the States-Europe. PLaces with horrible human right records? Why we dont get cancelled when all our riches and money-wealth comes from labor in the third world? We cant talk about morals from other countries when our nations are not exactly saints-Pristine. Far from it. Do you want me to remind you of the past of Northamerica/Europe Artists should tour wherever they want allow them to navigate the planet MIDDLE EASTERN FANS also deserve to have a good time. They never get any tours or pop singers. I feel bad for the gays there But if i were Shakira i would not tour there. Is a Trap Chaquira. Run away we know what they want. CHECK THIS LINK https://english.ajel.sa/news/kuwaiti-parliament-member-asks-to-kill-shakira-in-saudi-arabia Former Kuwaiti parliament member Nasser Al-Dwaila has called the Iranian-backed Houthi group to attack the Colombian singer Shakira with rockets during attending a singing party in Saudi Arabia. This forum has a VISCERAL hate against arab people,it's a well known fact. I won't bother if I was you 3 1
Magic_boXX Posted September 18, 2023 Posted September 18, 2023 Punishing innocent people for something they have no control of what their government do is not right. Yes the government system and some beliefs might not set suit to some but it's not fair for them to suffer. To say that certain artist shouldn't go to a country because they go against what they've believe is not right nor fair. That just like when Trump is in the office, I don't think it would have been fair of a famous international singer of mine shouldn't perform because he's in office. Im sure that they are many people who do not support the Arab laws would love to see Shakira perform. 2 1 1

It’s not like she’s doing a private show to wealthy homophobic people only, she knows better. 1 1

Sergi91 Posted September 18, 2023 Posted September 18, 2023 People always have something negative to say when someone performs in Israel and Saudi Arabia… like where is the same attitude when people perform in the USA (especially in Florida where it’s currently a **** show) ??? Btw I’m NOT condoning what Israel/SA have done. 2 1

ICLDXU4HS Posted September 18, 2023 Posted September 18, 2023 I actually genuinely thought they had a death warrant against her?
campelo Posted September 18, 2023 Posted September 18, 2023 Artists should always be criticised when they opt to perform in countries such Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Algeria, Morocco, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Mali. 1 1 4

Ex-Kuwaiti parliament member asks to kill Shakira in Saudi Arabia (ajel.sa) It's more like an ex-MP from Kuwait wanting the Houthis to kill her. The government of SA is perfectly fine with her (for now). I think Shakira has more to fear by performing in Kuwait.
I54X Posted September 20, 2023 Posted September 20, 2023 Not much money though. They can give her some extra coins.
Damien M Posted September 20, 2023 Posted September 20, 2023 Kinda lost respect for her. ugh these artists are so money hungry. Disgusting

Too steamy for the Middle East. Ojos asi / WW are more traditional. She’ll probably include BL like Beyoncé did with traditional belly dancing if anything.
