Rai Singer Cheb Mami Arrested!


Cheb Mami

Rai singer Cheb Mami was accused by the Paris district court for charges of assault, violence and threatening against one of his ex-girlfriends. The famous singer was arrested pending an investigation. Mami, 40, is accused of holding one of his ex-girlfriends hostage in addition to using force to persuade her to retract her charges against him.

Sources close to the investigation say that the occurrences happened in either Morocco or Algeria involving Mami and his ex-girlfriend who he allegedly forced to have an abortion.

The French newspaper "La Parisian" said that Mami married 4 months ago and now lives in Algeria with regular visits to France.
As a result, Mami's concert which was scheduled in France, celebrating his new album "Layali" or “Nights" was postponed.

    He was known to be violent with all the girls. But many of them are also too much interested by these low life gangster life, with a lot of money and no values and no education.
    But it is not a reason to brutalize a woman.
    Best regards.
