Aside from winning seven World Music Awards and having a Guinness World Record to his name, Egyptian music superstar Diab is also the first artist from the MENA region to have won YouTube’s Golden Play Button, an award that recognises accounts with over a million subscribers. In fact, he is also the first Arab artist to cross one billion plays on the audio-streaming platform Anghami, becoming the most-streamed Arab artist in Anghami’s history. The collaboration with Diab pushed Anghami’s revenues by 29 per cent in August 2022, reaching $21.1m, while its active user count jumped by 46 per cent to 19.5 million. Diab has also partnered with UAE-based property developer Emaar to launch his first-ever signature luxury hotel, Locanda.
