Producer Walid Mustafa passed away in the early hours of Saturday, after a long struggle with a myriad of health issues that began in 2018.
According to reports, he had suffered heart attacks and had previously undergone unsuccessful kidney surgery.
Mustafa had been transferred to China for treatment after suffering his first health crisis. He then returned to Egypt, where he continued to struggle with his illness.
Lebanese Singer Carole Samaha has been by her husband’s side throughout this period, putting all her focus on caring for her husband and only daughter, as she has previously stated in television interviews.
In a previous interview with Mohammed Qais on the “I Have a Question” podcast, Samaha confirmed that her husband’s illness had significantly impacted his interest in appearing in the media, but she decided to keep the details of his health condition private.
She also spoke about her husband’s hospitalization in 2018, where he remained in critical condition for four months, during which she put her family first.
Mustafa was one of the most prominent figures in the field of artistic and media production, having contributed to the establishment of NRJ Radio and some channels and newspapers.
He also had numerous successful artistic projects in various fields, especially music.
