Syrian singer Asala Nasry revealed that she was intending to attend BIAF Festival as a guest of honor, while she responded to the advice of her husband not to attend to avoid any new potential conspiracy against her during the current period.

She denied the accusations against her of possessing cocaine, saying that she does not know how the material reached to her handbag. She stressed that it is not logic for her to sacrifice her popularity in all over the Arab work for exercising such illegal activity.

She added, in a statement to “Al Maghrib Today”, that a number of newspapers used the incident to smear her image before the fans, saying that they adopted and created rumors targeting her, saying that most of what was published over the incident was unfounded rumors.

She added, “It is not logic to commit such a violation. It is not logic to lose my popularity in such way. What happened was a part of campaign targeting me. It was a conspiracy against me. I appreciate the Lebanese authorities for their understanding.”
