Egyptian singer Ahmed Saad was involved in an unintended crisis with the Egyptian Musicians Syndicate and its president, artist Hani Shaker, because of the popular singer Hassan Shakoush, where Saad recorded with Shakoush a duet with "100 accounts" and he was supposed to launch it a few days ago, but Saad and the song producing company were surprised by a decision by the union Offering any work that Shakoush participates on YouTube, the websites of songs, or any television or radio means.
After the Syndicate’s stance, Ahmed Saad revealed the scenes of Hani Shaker’s anger at him because he overlooked the Egyptian Syndicate’s decisions.
Saad posted a video through his official account on the Instagram photo and video site, in which he said he had to postpone the launch of this "duet" at the wish of the Captain of Musicians Hani Shaker, who blamed him for taking the decision to sing alongside Hassan Shakoush, who is not yet a member of the Musicians Syndicate. He is prohibited from obtaining permits to sing after the problem he faced in the Valentine's Day party at Cairo Stadium.
For its part, the Musicians Syndicate asserted that it would go to prosecute Hassan Shakoush and the production company if that song was released because Shakosh violates the decisions of the Syndicate because he has no right to sing because he is not a member, and he is not authorized to practice the profession. An official source in the Syndicate of Musical Professions told "Emirates Today" that the production company banned the song and complied with the union's decision without any objection.
Hassan Shakoush said that he is trying to find a solution with the union to display the song sooner and will try to regularize his conditions so that he can issue songs and perform concerts even if in a "live" manner.
At the same time, sources from the Syndicate of Musicians confirmed that the status of Shakush is not so easy because solving his problem and the legalization of his status depends on the law, and there are several steps that must be taken, the first of which is to be presented to a committee to judge whether he is qualified to obtain the history of the union or not, which is the step that Shakush took Previously, he was rejected when the committee found that he was not fit to obtain union membership, yet he performed the Cairo Stadium event challenging the union's decisions and laws.
In a related context, the Syndicate of Musical Professions issued a press release, in which it thanked Mazzika, which produced the song "100 Accounts", for its response to the implementation of the law.
