Tunisian superstar Latifa shared a video of a friendly video call with masked singer TUL8TE, marking their first public interaction since the controversy surrounding allegations that one of his songs resembles the melody of her famous track "Fi El Kam Youm Elly Fatou."

During the call, TUL8TE thanked Latifa for congratulating him on his latest musical releases and asked for her opinion about his new song. She warmly replied, "Amazing, amazing, amazing," before the two exchanged congratulations and wished each other continued success.

The video represents the first public communication between the two artists since the debate intensified over claims that one of TUL8TE's songs shares similarities with "Fi El Kam Youm Elly Fatou," a song released nearly 18 years ago with music composed by Walid Saad.

Earlier, Latifa commented on the controversy, emphasizing that the issue should not be viewed as a simple artistic similarity but rather as a matter involving the rights of the original creators. She stressed the importance of protecting intellectual property rights and taking the necessary legal measures to preserve the rights of composers, lyricists, and producers.

She also noted that respecting the work of music creators is essential to maintaining the integrity of the music industry, adding that every rights holder deserves full legal protection and that violations involving artistic works should never be overlooked.

The controversy has sparked widespread discussion across social media, with many listeners pointing to noticeable similarities between the two melodies, reigniting conversations about intellectual property rights within the Arab music industry.
