Faris Karam vs. Najwa Karam

So Najwa Karam and Fares Karam have a lot in common, they are both Lebanese and they both share a last name. They also both dominate a singing style that's distinctly Lebanese. They are celebrated by many and in a way they both represent the best of Lebanese art. In a way they know how to start a party. They both are on contract with Rotana, the music production powerhouse. But that does not mean they are buddies.

In fact they despise each other. Najwa Karam got upset when Faris said he is the man who brought Lebanese traditional songs into life....Najwa to her credit has been doing that for the past 20 years for Faris' 15 years. Then they started a cat fight who is the voice of Lebanon. Najwa Karam is known to be fiery and someone who does not take a backseat to nobody.

Fares Karam seems like a nice guy, he had a series of hit songs that had global success and present he said he did not want a fight, but who knows, just watch this reportage by Elaph about the feud and the back story of how some Arab stars refuse to take the high road and continue to pick fights with their country men and women over turf.
