And she continued: “You are the homeland and the homeland does not die… God have mercy on you.”
On the other hand, May Hariri responded to the words of the Lebanese artist Ragheb Alama, who spoke about the late Melhem Barakat in one of his interviews, and said: “In a period of time, the success of my Egyptian songs was cut by some stars in Lebanon, including Melhem Barakat, who worked on a campaign to withdraw Lebanese citizenship From me, and he is poor, may God have mercy on him, he himself succeeded in Egypt and did not achieve that.”
May Hariri said: “I was surprised by the irresponsible statements of an artist imposed to raise the name of Lebanon, for your information, Ragheb, Egypt looks at the musician Melhem Barakat as a symbol of Lebanese art. And love between them is the basis of their fellowship.” She also re-published a response on her Twitter account, in which he said: “Ragheb Alama, let your talk be like your songs, the musician Melhem Barakat is a school in itself.”
