Hossam Habib (Arabic: حسام حبيب; born May 31, 1980) is an Egyptian singer and composer.

Career

Habib initially worked as a composer; he composed Elissa's song "Ayshalak" (Arabic: عايشالك). After Habib's friends and family encouraged him to sing professionally, he recorded his first single "Men Yomak" (Egyptian Arabic: من يومك). He went on to record four albums from 2004 to 2016, winning multiple awards.

After the Arab Spring, Habib released a song called "Aala Sot" (Arabic: أعلى صوت) to commemorate the Tunisian revolution and Egyptian Revolution.

From 2016-2023, Habib was on hiatus from the music industry. He returned in 2024 with the song "Kadaba".

Personal life

Habib has a younger sister, Ranya, and a younger brother, Bassel.

In 2016, Habib recorded a song, "Kol Maghanni", with Sherine Abdel-Wahab for his album Faraa' Keteer. The duet sparked rumors about the two singers being in a romantic relationship. Two years later, Habib married Abdel-Wahab in Cairo on April 7, 2018. This was the second marriage for both Habib and Abdel-Wahab.

Their relationship has faced a lot of turmoil. In 2021, the couple divorced. In May 2022, Habib was arrested for allegedly threatening Abdel-Wahab. A few months later, Abdel-Wahab accused Habib of abuse and of involving her in a scam. In response, Habib accused Abdel-Wahab of "blackmail" and sued her for defamation. Later that year, they remarried, only to divorce again in 2023.

In 2024, Habib spoke about his struggles with religion and depression in a TV interview.
