Egyptian security forces have arrested rapper Kurdi and Nada El Kamel, the ex-wife of a well-known actor, on drug possession charges, according to Saudi newspaper Okaz. The arrests took place in the Nasr City district of Cairo.
Multiple Egyptian outlets, including Youm7 and Al-Shorouk, report that cocaine was found in the possession of the two individuals at the time of their detention. The arrest has brought renewed attention to a string of cases involving Egyptian celebrities and drug offenses, as noted by Asharq Al-Awsat.
Kurdi, whose real name has not been confirmed in the available reports, is a prominent figure in Egypt's rap scene. Local media, including Al-Masry Al-Youm, have highlighted his rise from rap music to this legal trouble, though specific career details remain limited. Nada El Kamel is identified in the reports as the former spouse of actor Ahmad El Fishawy, who has himself faced drug-related legal issues in the past.
