Rahyafte (The Guided Ones)
🔺Mélanie Georgiades, known by her stage name Diam's, the newly converted Muslim French rapper: "I found something in Islam to heal my emotional and spiritual struggles that I couldn't find in any other religion." https://rahyafteha.ir/61313/ #Islam #NewBeginnings…
🔺 Diam's, the French-speaking rapper, has moved to the holy city of Medina.
According to Rahyafte (the comprehensive platform for new Muslims and missionaries) Mélanie Georgiades, known by her stage name Diam's, is a French-Greek rapper who converted to Islam and officially announced her retirement from music on September 30, 2012. Recently, her friend, Vitaa, a famous Italian singer, revealed in an interview with La Provence magazine that Diam's plans to leave France for good and settle in Saudi Arabia. It’s been about a year since she moved to the religious city of Medina in Saudi Arabia.
In the interview, Vitaa stated: “France is Diam's country; it’s where she whispered her loudest dreams and connected with its people. However, as a Muslim citizen, she hated the discriminatory laws and didn’t want to stay in France anymore. Diam's was one of my best friends, and although she left music after embracing Islam, we are still close. She left France, despite her deep love for her birthplace, and now lives in Medina, Saudi Arabia.”
La Provence expressed hope that Diam's would return to France one day, as many had predicted her departure after her strong objections to the discriminatory laws against Muslims. This was especially evident when she posted a picture from Dubai on Twitter, leading many to believe she would move there. Nevertheless, many French people were shocked by her decision to leave the country and wondered why such a famous figure would leave. However, Diam's shared in one of her Twitter posts that she is happy with her new life.
She retired from her professional music career in 2009 and officially embraced Islam three years later. In 2012 and 2015, she published two books about her life, France, and Muslims, where she explained her conversion to Islam. These books sold nearly 80,000 copies and were well-received by readers. On September 30, 2012, when Diam's appeared on TF1 for her first interview after becoming Muslim, she was dressed in full hijab. She announced that she had become a Muslim and was leaving her music career behind for good. An Arabic magazine in the Middle East also reported on October 12 that the former French rap star had moved to Medina to live there.
When Diam's converted to Islam, she wrote to her followers on Facebook: “I want to take you through the winding path I walked; a journey that led me nowhere. I was always searching for happiness until I found myself. Yet, there was still something deep in my heart that troubled me, as if something had taken root within me, which led to my rebirth into this world.”
Vitaa excitedly said: "I am so happy for her choice of a new way of life. Some people may not understand her, but she’s made her decision and is content and happy with it. I often hear people say that she has been forgotten since she left music, but for me, she is still one of the greatest artists of this new musical era." Interestingly, after her conversion, many rumors and accusations surfaced about Diam's, claiming that she was ill or severely depressed due to her decision to wear the hijab and leave music behind.
