The Saudi officials have called for the arrest of a female rapper over her controversial music video she recently released.
In the music video titled ‘Girl from Mecca’, the Saudi rapper Ayasel Slay praised women from the holy city of Mecca as “powerful and beautiful”.
“A Mecca girl is all you need/Don’t upset her, she will hurt you, With her, you can complete the Sunna [get married]/Your life with her will become Paradise.” Our respect to other girls but the Mecca girl is sugar candy,” she sings in the video while men and women dance in a cafe.
Mecca Governor Khalid al-Faisal has ordered for Asayel’s arrest, together with those responsible for the production of the “insulting” song.
Her YouTube channel has been shutdown and her latest music video clip Mecca Girl removed after officials claimed the video “insults the customs of Mecca”.
