After retirement, Mohamed Al-Rifai prepares to meet the public.

Moroccan artist Mohamed Rifi is preparing to meet his Moroccan fans again after a period of absence from performing in Morocco. He is scheduled to perform a concert on Friday, July 11, 2025, at the Live Arts Studio in Casablanca.

An upcoming concert by Mohammed Al-Rifai

This concert is part of a series of artistic activities that Al-Rifai has recently resumed, following his decision to retire and his return to the music scene, starting from Egypt. His career is witnessing a new phase following the signing of a production contract with a Saudi production company.

In the same context, Al-Rifai announced his readiness to release a new song titled “Al-Qalb Qaflanahu”, where he published a post on his official Instagram account in which he said: “The song of the heart, we closed the countdown, I hope you like it and that it achieves success like the song “Ba’t Elli Sharik”.

I sold what I bought.. Latest releases

It's worth noting that Mohammed Al-Rifai's latest release was the song "B'at Elli Shareek," which has garnered over 1.7 million views on YouTube since its release nearly three months ago. It was preceded by the song "Jamdin Jamdin," which was released six months ago and also achieved significant viewership.

Retirement and religious chanting

In July 2024, Al-Rifai announced his desire to permanently retire from performing arts and devote himself to religious singing, considering his decision "inevitable," as he put it. He also confirmed his intention to delete his entire singing archive from digital platforms at the appropriate time. During that period, he stated that the goal of his participation in the competition was not fame or financial gain, but rather to prove his talent to those who doubted it, noting that he did not feel wronged during his experience on "X Factor."

Mohamed Al-Rifai's career

It's worth noting that Mohamed El Rifi won the "X Factor" competition in 2013, capturing attention with his powerful and spontaneous voice, leading some to compare him to artists like George Wassouf. However, his continued success faced numerous challenges, most notably production disputes with an Egyptian company, which led to a decline in his public profile and the postponement of several artistic projects that were underway.
