Wegs is a former Vodafone employee
One day you may have encountered Wegs answering your call to solve a problem you had with Vodafone. This young man in his twenties was a call center employee in February 2018.
According to the Wikipedia, Ahmed Ali, known as Wegs, was born in the Wardian neighborhood in Alexandria Governorate, and his origins go back to Luxor.
He achieved stardom in Egypt and the Arab world after releasing the track “Durk Je” on March 11, 2020, which achieved huge success in a very short time, as the number of views on YouTube exceeded 24 million views in just two months.
This is at a time when Forbes Middle East magazine chose him among the list of the 50 most successful singers and bands for the year 2021 in the Arab world.
But several years before that, according to the investigative report published by akhbaralaan, he joined Vodafone on February 1, 2018, and Wegez tweeted asking his Twitter followers to pray for him to accept.
Wegs says that his work in customer service changed his life and turned it upside down. He woke up early and went to bed unusually early.
He received a monthly salary from his new job amounting to 6 thousand pounds. Wiggs thought at the time that if he had continued with the company for 4 years, he would have become a manager. With it.
Wegs was not in a prestigious position in Vodafone, as some press reports said, and which was reviewed in the investigative report. Rather, he was an ordinary young man at the beginning of his appointment. His manager called everyone with appreciation and respect, and she called him, rather than everyone else, “Mama’s lover,” as he described it in one of his tweets. Then, about a month later, the first complaint was filed against him at work by his manager.
His work as a customer service employee did not last long. He returned to his mother one day in late 2018 and told her of his desire to leave work.
After only a month and a half, he lost everything in his pocket or in his bank account. Then he struggled and did not leave any opportunity to make money from the songs that he considered his dream.
However, he followed it until he became famous and became one of the most important rap singers in the Arab world today.
