    In the podcast, she says that she listens to Fi Hagat to shift her mood. Noting that Nancy Ajram launched this song in 2010 in her album Nancy 7.

    She says: “I love Nancy Ajram, I love Nancy Ajram in this song. She has this song and another song called “Enta Eh”… I found this song because of a meme… I looked it up and I found it. I’m loving it. Now I listen to all of Nancy Ajram’s stuff.”

    She expresses numerous times how much she loves Fi Hagat, even though she doesn’t understand the lyrics. “The way that she sings is so crazy!” Billie said about Nancy.

    She goes on to praise Arabic music in general, saying: “The way that Arabic songs sound is just like melted chocolate in my ears.”

    She mentions that she used to play Fi Hagat all day, every day, back in December 2018 (we have proof of that). She then proceeds to play Nancy’s song on her podcast.
