Lebanese artist Elissa has put an end to the speculation surrounding the release date of her album in an interview with Arab Wood programme. She stated that she does not like to raise expectations, and when the album is released, people will listen to it, follow it, and love it. However, the timing does not allow for the album to be released. In another instance, Elissa took a strong stance against a filter that mocked her lip movement, stating that the person who experiences violence tends to bully others to feel like their victim, so she feels sorry for that person and not for herself. She added that the bully is a sick person. Elissa also participated in the Heba Conference for the Future of Fashion in Riyadh.
