Lebanese artist Rami Ayash issued a clarification statement denying any connection to a video circulating on social media paired with one of his songs.
Lebanese artist Rami Ayash issued a decisive statement through his X account, denying any link to a video circulating across multiple social media pages. The clip is paired with one of his songs in a way designed to suggest to the public that the person appearing in it is Ayash himself. The artist firmly confirmed that the person in the video is not him and wished the actual artist appearing in the clip a speedy recovery and good health.
Ayash said in his statement: a video was circulated on some pages paired with one of my songs, suggesting that the person appearing in it is me. I confirm that this video has nothing to do with me and that the person appearing in it is not me. He added that he has noticed a marked pattern in recent times of publishing misleading and offensive news and clips that deliberately invoke his name.
Ayash pointed out that he respects freedom of expression and criticism, but inventing facts and attributing content unrelated to him is something entirely different. He added that the reasons behind this systematic circulation have become almost clear, without disclosing them directly in the statement.
Ayash called on all media outlets and social media users to verify the accuracy of any content before circulating it. He noted that he reserves his full legal right to take appropriate action against any abuse or deliberate misinformation directed at him.
The artist said in closing his statement: I hope everyone verifies the accuracy of any content before publishing or sharing it, and I reserve my right to take appropriate action against any abuse or deliberate misinformation. Ayash added a message of love for his audience as he concluded the clarification statement.
On the artistic front, Ayash launched his latest song in July 2026 titled Edhabbini. A new artistic venture combining singing in Modern Standard Arabic with a return to 1970s atmospheres in a music video directed by Fadi Haddad.
Ayash collaborated on the new artistic project with poet Catherine Maawad, with whom he had worked on previous ventures. She wrote the song while Omar Sabbagh handled the musical arrangement. First Production produced the entire project.
The clarification statement from Ayash comes in the context of what he described as repeated attempts to attribute misleading content to him via social media. This pattern of misinformation has become of interest to the artist, who decided to respond formally and publicly to these attempts.
This stance from Ayash reflects a growing concern among Lebanese public figures about protecting their reputation online and on digital platforms. Misinformation and falsely attributed content has become a growing problem that warrants public responses and legal warnings from targeted figures.
With Ayash's decision to preserve his legal right, there may be a possibility of taking legal steps against specific parties that may be behind posting this misleading content. This points to the artist's desire to defend his reputation through all available means before the relevant authorities.
In the absence of additional details about the parties responsible or specific reasons behind this misinformation, Ayash's clarification statement remains a general alert directed at those interested in publishing content accurately and verifying its sources before resharing it.
