Haifa Wehbe Fan Club

Haifa Wehbe was born as a Shia Muslim in a small farming town near Southern Lebanon. She grew up listening to jazz and R&B. She became a model at a very young age and won the title of "Miss South Lebanon" at age sixteen.



Wehbe's next distinction came in 1995 when she was runner up for Miss Lebanon. It was shortly discovered that she was married and had a daughter named Zeinab . Her title was thus revoked. By 1996, she had recovered from the scandal and continued to model. She was seen on over 100 magazine covers. In 2006, she was on People Magazine's 50 most beautiful people list.



Wehbe is a Shi'a Muslim. Her 3 sisters are Alia, Hanna and Rola.The singer lost her brother at the age of 24 in a conflict with Israel in the 1980s.



During Wehbe's marriage, she gave birth to a daughter named Zeinab Zaza. Wehbe has not seen her child since the divorce. Her ex-husband has engaged in parental alienation for over 10 years.



In 2005, she announced her engagement to a Saudi businessman Tariq Al-Jaffali. Rumors about the expensive gifts he offered her began to circulate immediately. However, after only a few weeks, she and her fiancé decided to split for personal reasons and family issues.



She released her first album, titled Huwa az-Zaman, which was a hit thanks to her debut single "Agoul Ahwak".



Her second album Baddi 'Ayshwas released in 2005 and lived up to expectations due to the success of its lead single "Hayat Albi." Released after the assassination of Lebanese politician Rafik Hariri, the song of the same name is about "freedom, considered to be among the most basic of human rights."



Her follow-up single was her biggest hit to date, "Ana Haifa" which became her novelty song. In 2006 she released a follow up single Bus al-Wawa which so far has sold respectably.



On June 10, 2006 Haifa became the first artist in the Arab world to perform with rapper 50 Cent when she performed as an opening act for his first concert in Lebanon, at BIEL in Beirut.
