Amr Diab's songs removed from Anghami... Behind the scenes

In a surprising move that sparked widespread controversy among Arab music fans, the songs and albums of the famous Egyptian artist Amr Diab disappeared from the “Anghami” platform. This decision raised many questions about the real reasons behind this deletion, and its impact on “El Hadaba’s” fans.

Reasons behind deletion According to statements by Hossam El Gamal, Anghami's manager in Egypt and North Africa, the main reason behind deleting Amr Diab's songs is due to the end of the exclusive contract between the two parties. El Gamal explained that Anghami is a technology company, and the publisher who owns the content is the one who has the right to release his songs on the platform through his own channel. He added that Amr Diab had an exclusive partnership with Anghami for a period of time, after which the contract ended. For his part, Amr Diab 's media office confirmed that the contractual relationship ended with the expiration of the contract between the two parties, and that both parties committed to fulfilling their obligations in full. The media office denied the news that was circulated about Anghami's delay in paying the installments, indicating that the relationship between the two parties is still good.

Implications of deletion on the public Amr Diab's fans were surprised by the disappearance of a large number of his albums and singles from the Anghami platform, which sparked widespread resentment among his fans. The albums that were deleted include famous works such as "Maadi El Nas" and "Ahla Wa Ahla", while some other albums such as "Makanak", "El Leila", "Benadik Ta'ala" and "Shouft El Ayam" remained available on the platform. This sudden deletion prompted many users to wonder about the possibility of releasing these songs again on Anghami or other platforms. In this context, Al-Jamal pointed out that artists sometimes delete their content from a particular platform due to offers from other distribution companies to manage the content entirely.

Amr Diab's future steps It is expected that Amr Diab will move to release his songs and albums on other platforms after the end of the contract with “Anghami”. The artist’s media office indicated that his production company “Nay” did not release the songs “Tetahby” and “Al-Ta’ama” on “ Anghami ”, but rather they were released on the video site “ YouTube ”.
