Mr. Zahi Hawass
Condemned Beyonce
“Most of the people who came here to enjoy with me were very kind, polite and we became friends. But this woman is really… She said she would come at 15:00 but she was late. She should have said sorry to me but she didn’t open her mouth” – the former Egyptian Minister of Antiquities, 66 years old, angrily told The Independent.
“I brought a photographer and she also had a photographer, a bodyguard. As my photographer started taking pictures, Beyonce’s photographer yelled “No, stop!”. I hastily said, “I’m the one who has the right to say yes or no here, not you. Since you always tried to overwhelm my photographer, you were completely impolite. Going out, I don’t give your crew special privileges on my tour.” I turned around and said Beyonce was stupid and left,” Zahi Hawass said.
In response to the accusations of Egypt’s “Indiana Jones”, Beyonce’s representative told E! News that all the allegations are lies. “It’s not happened! The last time she was in Egypt was on tour in 2009 but nothing happened there. This is a complete lie and a lie.”
This female singer objected
During the interview, Zahi Hawass always bragged about her popularity. He was also criticized for being too delusional about his reputation when he said: “People attack me because I’m famous. When I guided President Obama to visit Giza, the driver recognized me…”.
