Khaberni - Artist Sumaya Darwish faced a fierce campaign of criticism after her recent press statements about the artist she considers to deserve the title "Voice of Egypt" for her, in which she confirmed that Amal Maher is regarded as the "Voice of Egypt" currently, and even considered her to be one of the best voices in the music scene and possibly surpassing great icons in the history of music like Umm Kulthum.
Sumaya Darwish said in one of the artistic symposiums: "Amal Maher is the voice of Egypt and everyone used to say she is after Umm Kulthum and I see her as better, and if she is a student of Umm Kulthum then she has surpassed the teacher."
Social media erupted with a wide campaign of criticism against Sumaya Darwish, from fans and the audience of Umm Kulthum, considering that with her statements, Sumaya proved that she deserved to be distanced from the music industry, stating that no singer, no matter their status, has dared to make such statements before.
