Moroccan Singer and Ex-Husband Trade Accusations in Social Media Feud

A shepherd’s response to the shepherdess. In a live session on her Instagram account, Dounia Batma claimed to have been the target of a conspiracy aimed at ending her artistic career, and also assured that her ex-husband Mohamed Al-Turk was involved in this conspiracy, accusing him of having disclosed her secrets and acting in exchange for money. The Bahraini producer’s counterattack did not take long to come.

In a live on TikTok, Al-Turk claimed that those who had disclosed the singer’s secrets were her relatives and entourage, including her sister Ibtissam’s husband. "We all know we’re playing a role... stop acting comedy to the Moroccans and making up stories and involving people who have nothing to do with this... everyone knows you," he added, also accusing his ex-wife of lacking benevolence towards her entourage.

"You’re not benevolent, even with your loved ones... when you employ your aunts at home for 200 dirhams, even your grandfather and uncle, you couldn’t pay for their treatment," he reproached Dounia. Al-Turk also accused his ex-wife of neglecting her daughters. "It’s her aunt who takes care of their education in Casablanca, while their mother spends her time in Tangier," he revealed, threatening to reveal more secrets about his ex-wife and to regain custody of his daughters.
