Assi also said that he shares a good relationship with all singers and that he is not a judge to anyone's personal opinions. He denied any dispute between him them and considers him and singer Ragheb Alama to be as brothers to him. He also mentioned that Fadel has called him and cleared any issues between them and explained the reasons for his anger. It is worth mentioning that Assi is spending his vacation in Dubai.
