Saudi officials have called for the arrest of a female rapper over her controversial music video she recently released.
In the music video titled 'Girl from Mecca', the Saudi rapper Ayasel Slay, who was dressed in an ankle-length dress and headscarf praised women from the holy city of Mecca as “powerful and beautiful”.
"A Mecca girl is all you need/Don't upset her, she will hurt you," sang Ayasel, describing how a woman from Mecca are ahead of all other Saudi women in beauty and strength.
"With her, you can complete the Sunna [get married]/Your life with her will become Paradise."

“Our respect to other girls but the Mecca girl is sugar candy,” she sings in the video while men and women dance in a cafe.
Her YouTube channel has been shutdown and her latest music video clip Mecca Girl removed after officials claimed the video “insults the customs of Mecca”.
Mecca Governor Khalid al-Faisal has ordered for Asayel’s arrest, together with those responsible for the production of the “insulting” song.
The song has attracted mixed reactions online, with many praising the government for taking the video down and calling for her arrest, while others spoke against the move.
"Enough of this depravity," one user said, referring to the video. "I hope the punishment for this African woman will be imprisonment then deporting her back to her country."
"Immediate deportation is the answer, in addition to holding every foreigner who claims to be from Mecca accountable," one user said.
"Including all Somalis living here," another replied in agreement.
Others also spoke out against Ayasel's arrest.
"If anything needs to be deported, it is your racism, your arrogance, and your deep reverence for yourselves," one Twitter user retorted.
“This is so typical of the Saudi government to do – bring Western influencers to artwash the regime but attack real Saudi women who try to artistically express their cultural identities,” tweeted Amani Al-Ahmadi, who identifies herself as a Saudi-American feminist.
“The song contains no vulgarity, obscenity, smoking, and she’s even fully covered,” a Kenyan man wrote in response to the Governor’s tweet.
One furious woman said: “Shout out to the Saudi government for inviting Nicki Minaj to perform in a bid to appear “modern” but banned and arrested an *actual* Black Saudi female rapper who created a banger about her hometown.”
Mecca is Islam’s holiest site where millions of Muslims go for pilgrimage every year.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league."

"Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file
