A heated exchange between Egyptian singer Hamo Bika and veteran actress Fifi Abdou unfolded on live television during a recent broadcast of the Egyptian program “Alf Leila wa Leila” (A Thousand and One Nights). The incident, which occurred on , has quickly gained attention in Egyptian media.
According to reports, Bika became visibly upset during a segment of the show, leading to a contentious back-and-forth with Abdou. Details surrounding the specific cause of the disagreement remain somewhat unclear, but multiple sources indicate the dispute centered around money. Sawt Beirut International reported Bika accusing Abdou, stating “فلوس إيه يا أم فلوس!” – roughly translated as “What money, oh mother of money!”
Fifi Abdou, a prominent figure in Egyptian entertainment for decades, currently hosts “Alf Leila wa Leila.” She recently addressed comparisons to fellow Egyptian entertainer Ramz Galal, specifically regarding a program featuring pranks, stating she does not consider herself in competition with him, according to Akhbar Al Saudia. Abdou’s long career has established her as a significant presence in Egyptian television and film.
Hamo Bika, a popular singer originating from Alexandria, has garnered a substantial following in recent years. He is represented by Adham El Ga3fary, with contact information publicly available. His official YouTube channel, Hamo Bika Live, showcases his music and performances.
The incident with Abdou isn’t the only recent on-set tension witnessed on “Alf Leila wa Leila.” A separate report from Sada Al Balad details an outburst from actress Aiten Amer, who reportedly struck a table during her appearance on the show. This suggests a potentially volatile atmosphere on the set of the program.
While the exact nature of the dispute between Bika and Abdou remains somewhat opaque, the incident highlights the potential for friction even within established entertainment formats. The show’s format, a long-running variety program, often involves a mix of celebrity guests and spontaneous interactions, which can sometimes lead to unexpected confrontations. The program has also recently featured appearances by other prominent figures, including Mohamed Thروت, as reported by Bawabat Akhbar Al Youm.
The incident raises questions about the dynamics between established stars like Abdou and rising artists like Bika. The public accusation regarding money suggests potential disagreements over compensation or contractual obligations. Further details are likely to emerge as Egyptian media continues to cover the story. The incident also underscores the challenges of maintaining a controlled environment during live broadcasts, where spontaneous reactions can quickly escalate.
As of , neither Abdou nor Bika have issued official statements addressing the incident beyond the initial exchange captured on air. It remains to be seen whether this disagreement will have any lasting impact on their professional relationship or their respective careers.
