CAIRO – Algerian Rai artist Cheb Khaled recently⁤ appeared‌ as a guest on MBC’s popular program “Beit Al-Saad,” where he shared intimate details about his life, childhood, and rise to stardom with hosts Ahmed and Amr Saad.

During the conversation, Cheb Khaled revealed a surprising encounter with a famous‌ Arab ‌artist who criticized his reputation and questioned ⁢his international status. He recalled the artist​ saying, “You’re not an international artist.” Cheb Khaled responded​ by saying, “I advise him ​to look at social media to see if I’m an international artist.”

The artist also shared the secret behind​ his signature smile, which ⁣has become ⁢a hallmark of his career. “One must see what​ is behind the smile, because behind⁢ it is a man like ​any other man,”​ he said. “If⁣ we go back, I⁢ was‍ in a sad night, and there were many things inside me, for example, I did not‌ study music, but I play all the instruments.”

Cheb Khaled spoke fondly of ⁤his parents, ⁣recalling a poignant⁤ moment when his father apologized for disciplining him. “Sometimes‍ I remember ⁤my father and mother, and I remember one time my father said to me, ‘Forgive me ⁢for what I beat you.’ It made me human,” he ‌said.

The ‌artist also reflected on the challenging ⁤days he faced before achieving fame. ​”The days of poverty make you sad and stress yourself, but we eat bread and water, and you have to ⁤work and ​fight and do everything,” he said. “When ⁣I ⁢was young, ‌I⁤ used to buy lemons, squeeze them, and⁢ sell them.”

Cheb Khaled’s experiences as a lemonade ‍seller before his rise to ​fame taught him valuable lessons about perseverance and hard work. ‍”Poverty makes​ a person sad and depressed, those days were⁣ the ⁣best, and I ​was a ‌man and a warrior, and I⁣ worked in many things, including ⁣selling lemon juice on the road,” he said.
