CAIRO - The
pioneers of social networking sites celebrated the Egyptian rapper Ahmed Ali, known as "Wiggs", for raising the Palestinian flag during a ceremony held on Sunday in the French capital, Paris, amid comments praising his behavior and describing him as "the pride of the Arabs."
Wiggs published his picture draped in the Palestinian flag on his Instagram account, stressing his happiness with the ceremony and his audience.
While the Palestinian embassy in Cairo thanked the Egyptian artist, commenting, "Thank you to the free people of the world."
The pioneers of social networking sites valued the position of the young singer and his keenness to support the Palestinian cause publicly and on several occasions, especially as he enjoys wide popularity among groups of the young generation and university and school students.
Tweeters said that Wiggs wore the Palestinian keffiyeh and began his party with it in a message of support for the Palestinian people and their steadfastness against the Israeli occupation.
Some of them asserted that what Weggs did is difficult for others who preceded him in the artistic field, which indicates his courage.
Activists considered that Wiggs' continuous support for the Palestinian cause indicates that the new generations have not forgotten Palestine as the press wanted them to, and also indicates that this generation has a political and intellectual awareness, not the superficiality that some accuse it of.
Another clip was spread on the communication sites, monitoring the public's interaction with the raising of Wiggs while carrying the Palestinian flag, and their chanting in support of his clear position on the issue.

The Egyptian rapper Wiggs had previously released a song called "The Return of My Country" in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
The song was shown during the events of the movie "Captains of Zaatari", which deals with the lives and dreams of two friends living in the Zaatari camp for Palestinian refugees in Jordan.
The song achieved one million views within the first 24 hours of its release, and Wiggs announced at the time that he would donate its profits to the Zaatari refugee camp.
Wiggs is constantly keen to announce his support for the Palestinian cause, and previously posted on Instagram a picture of the Palestinian keffiyeh during calls to save the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in occupied Jerusalem.
Wiggs is an Egyptian rapper whose real name is Ahmed Ali, 24 years old, who achieved wide fame in Egypt and the Arab world after the song "Your Turn Gay" in 2020.
The song achieved great success in a short time, as the number of views on YouTube exceeded 24 million views in just two months, and it has now exceeded 92 million views.
Forbes Middle East ranked him among its list of celebrity Arab music stars 2021.

It is not the first time that Wiggs supports the Palestinian cause, but this happens on every occasion and he always uses his fame and the strength of his account on Instagram to support the cause.
Almost the only artist who took the case on his chest and treats it without fear and calculation of "loss" like these people

I want to say something about Wiggs. I consider that I do not follow any artist on Insta. There is no other than Wigs, and he always goes down in the stories, the news of the Palestinian cause, and he always has beautiful situations with her followers for a long time, and he is always a successful person. He is a person who has many situations that I love in him ♥️ https http://t.co/KrkbaLlbDj

of a post that was commenting on Ronaldinho's visit to Egypt after Israel
, and now he's wearing a keffiyeh and flag at a party in France.. These
small needs are still able to separate us in the midst of the Arab normalization queue pic.twitter.com/3JOmu1qAad

Wiggs was a party worker in France while he was on the stage. He came up with the Palestinian flag and shawl.. A very simple position, but he is respected and that he took advantage of the theater because he made this beautiful movement pic.twitter.com/v5SwauQAhB
