Fans of Moroccan singer Saad Lmajarad were surprised yesterday, when YouTube deleted his latest music video "Salam".

The reason behind the move was a charge pursued by his fellow Moroccan Amazigh artist Hicham Talmoudi, who confirmed that Saad sampled a piece of music from one of his songs without permission.

The director of the song, Abdel-Rafi Al-Abdiwi, said the banning of the song was only temporary as YouTube's management took this step only as a precaution until a final decision is made. He was also certain that his documents will prove that Saad owns rights to the song.
