Tuwalet’s Controversial Song Removed After Allegations of Using Walid Saad’s Melody
A new development has emerged in the dispute between singer Tuwalet and composer Walid Saad, after the controversial song was removed following allegations that it used part of the melody of the song “El Kam Youm Elly Fatou”, originally composed by Walid Saad and performed by singer Latifa, without obtaining approval from the copyright owners. The case has sparked renewed discussion about music ownership rights and the legal limits of using parts of previous works.
🎵⚖️ Tuwalet’s Song Removed Amid Copyright Dispute with Walid Saad
A new chapter has unfolded in the dispute between singer Tuwalet and composer Walid Saad, after the song that sparked widespread controversy was removed following allegations related to the use of a melody from the song “El Kam Youm Elly Fatou” performed by singer Latifa.
The removal came after the controversy intensified over the rights to use the musical composition, as Walid Saad stated that the disputed part belongs to a melody he created and that any use of the musical work should have been approved by the copyright holders.
🎧 The incident attracted significant public attention, especially because it highlights one of the most common issues in the music industry: intellectual property rights and the legal boundaries surrounding the reuse or adaptation of existing musical elements.
🎼 Walid Saad: The Issue Is About Music Rights, Not a Personal Dispute
Walid Saad clarified that the disagreement with Tuwalet is not a personal conflict but rather a matter related to the rights of exploiting a musical work.
He explained that the issue had been discussed from an inaccurate perspective in recent days, emphasizing that the main concern is protecting the rights of creators and ensuring that their works are not used without proper authorization.
✨ Saad confirmed that the rights to the melody of “El Kam Youm Elly Fatou” belong to him and lyricist Nader Abdullah, while singer Latifa’s role was performing the song and she does not own the intellectual property rights to the composition and lyrics.
He stressed that the proper procedure would have been contacting the rights owners before using any part of the melody in a new project.
📌 How the Tuwalet Song Controversy Started
The controversy began when Walid Saad published a statement on the social media platform X, claiming that part of Tuwalet’s new track resembled the melody of “El Kam Youm Elly Fatou”, a song performed by Latifa.
According to Saad, the melody was used in a promotional track connected to a Vodafone Egypt advertisement, leading him to raise concerns about unauthorized use of his musical work.
🎤 Saad also stated that this was not the first time he felt that musical creations had been used without proper permission, calling for greater respect for the rights of composers and artists.
⚖️ Music Copyright and Intellectual Property Rights
The dispute has brought renewed attention to the importance of copyright protection in the music industry.
Music creators, including composers and lyricists, have exclusive rights over the use and exploitation of their works, including permission for reproduction, adaptation, or commercial use.
🎼 Walid Saad explained that copyright laws do not allow the use of a musical composition or a part of it without authorization unless specific legal exceptions apply.
He also noted that determining whether a copyright violation has occurred remains a matter for legal authorities and courts to evaluate based on the details of each case.
🎤 “El Kam Youm Elly Fatou”: A Successful Collaboration Between Walid Saad and Latifa
The song “El Kam Youm Elly Fatou” is considered one of the notable works in Latifa’s musical career.
The track was released as part of an album carrying the same title in 2008 and featured lyrics by Nader Abdullah and melody by Walid Saad.
✨ The song gained popularity after its release and became one of the memorable collaborations in modern Arabic music.
This connection to a successful previous work increased public interest in the controversy surrounding the alleged use of its melody.
🔍 Tuwalet’s Position and Production Company Response
So far, neither singer Tuwalet nor the production company involved in the advertisement connected to the song has issued an official statement responding to Walid Saad’s allegations.
The situation remains based on publicly announced claims from one side, while audiences continue waiting for further explanations or developments that could clarify the position of all parties involved.
🎶 Future developments may determine whether the dispute moves toward legal action or reaches a settlement between the involved parties.
🌟 A Controversy That Reopens the Debate Over Artists’ Rights
The dispute between Tuwalet and Walid Saad has reopened discussions about protecting the rights of musicians, composers, and lyricists.
🎵 A song is not only a combination of words and melodies; it is a creative work that carries legal rights belonging to its creators.
Respecting these rights remains essential for protecting creativity, encouraging innovation, and supporting the continued growth of the music industry.
