Viviane Chidid's evening, which was supposed to be a moment of celebration and sharing, took an unexpected turn. Indeed, Adama Beye, Zeyna Ndour's husband, decided to prohibit the press from filming the event, causing discomfort among the journalists present. A decision which sparked strong reactions and called into question the management of the artist's future events.
Despite careful organization and the presence of the press, invited to cover this special Christmas evening, a major incident tarnished the event. Adama Beye justified this ban by asserting that the content of the evening should exclusively be broadcast on his own YouTube channel. A choice which was perceived as a lack of consideration towards press professionals, who nevertheless played an important role in promoting the event.
