World Cup Singer Mohammed Assaf No Longer Participating, Shakira Boycotting

[Lamar]

[quote]Mohammed Assaf, who was slated to sing the opening of the World Cup this summer, has said that he's been banned from participating.

The Palestinian singer, who rose to prominence by winning Arab Idol, said that certain countries or groups have protested his participation and as a result his record company was told that he would no longer participate.

He was rumoured to also link up with Shakira, who sang at the 2010 Cup, to collaborate, but the Columbian superstar will now boycott as a result of Assaf's non-participation. [/quote]

Ugly situation, seems like some anti-Palestinian people pulled a couple strings to prevent him from participating.

The most unholy of cock-blocks.

If this was done to fill a political agenda; it's fucking bullshit

This is pretty fucked up, specially considering this is the most important sport related event this year.
