After years of financial disputes, Egyptian belly dancer Fifi Abdo and singer Midhat Saleh have finally reconciled.
An official revealed that Midhat had made up with the dancer after he paid her back one and a half million Egyptian pounds he had borrowed from her several years back.
It was added that the reconciliation occurred when the two stars met and decided to put their differences aside.
Recently, Midhat had on the run from police officials seeking to arrest him so that he may serve a two-year jail sentence.
Years after a dispute between Saleh and Abdo erupted, a Cairo court ruled in favor of Fifi, who charged that Midhat had wrote her a bad check for half a million Egyptian pounds.
Fifi filed the complaint against Midhat in June 2002 after he refused to refund the money she had loaned him.
On a different note, Salah’s engagement is no longer a secret, after he wore a silver engagement ring during one of his live concerts at the Cairo Opera House.
Midhat had been trying for a long time to keep his engagement away from the public eye, especially since his finance is not from the entertainment world.
During the concert, a fan walked up on stage and congratulated him on his engagement. He thanked the fan and said jokingly that he hopes it will be the last time.
