El Hindi said publicly that the company would be honored by having Ajram, when he was asked if she was going to be his next surprise after the Algerian diva Warda,He then added: “She should just give us orders”, and he produced a pin and paper asking her to state her conditions and sign.

Ajram’s response was to wear her trademark childish smile as she said: “I agree! It’s only about few details we’ve got to get into concerning contract clauses”, FNF has apparently seen Rotana tightening its grip on the regional music business, and emerging as a magnet for all artists signed to other companies.
