Rym Fikri: the false buzz of her pregnancy causes the anger of her fans
Moroccan singer Rym Fikri is at the heart of a heated controversy. By simulating a pregnancy to promote her new album, the artist has sparked the anger of her fans, disappointed by a marketing strategy deemed deceptive and insensitive.
The affair began when the artist made people believe in her remarriage and an imminent pregnancy. In a video, she staged herself with a prominent belly and messages suggesting deep personal suffering. While this scenario initially aroused a wave of sympathy, the public soon became disillusioned upon discovering that it was only a marketing ploy for the launch of her new tracks.

For many subscribers, this staging is a manipulation aimed at generating audience. Many see it as a "fall into the trap of buzz" and an exploitation of sensitive human subjects. This turnaround is all the more poorly perceived as the singer had received massive support during the murder of her husband.

Faced with criticism, Rym Fikri explains that this album marks a stage of maturity and that the pregnancy was a metaphor for this "artistic birth". However, this excuse was not enough to calm the situation. On the marketing level, the success remains limited: the songs display between 19,000 and 500,000 views, scores considered modest compared to the scale of the media frenzy that preceded the release.
