According to several witnesses present on the spot, police officers arrested Hliwa and his manager as they were participating with other personalities in the demonstration. Taken to the Rabat police station, they were questioned for several hours before being released.

The rapper has, on several occasions, on his social media accounts, expressed his opposition to the mandatory vaccination and the health pass now required in public places.
