4 Tyrese Gibson Is A Really Big Fan Of The City
Tyrese Gibson is the person on the list who may love the United Arab Emirates the most, and according to The National, he often visits the country to see his royal friends, who he refers to as his second family. He said, “I’ve never traveled to any country and felt more welcomed than in the UAE. People think it makes me happy because so many folks out there got money but that’s not the case. If you had a bunch of royals with money, and everybody was mean and arrogant then it would be one of the worst places. But the UAE is one of the safest places I’ve ever been. And outside of the mega-yachts and the big royal palaces – the common men and women of Dubai are nicest people I’ve ever been exposed to. I don’t remember ever sitting at so many dinner tables in people’s private homes and feeling a part of the family as I did in the UAE.”
But by the looks of this Instagram photo, he also likes to party and the background of this photo is lined with bottles of expensive looking alcohol. And Gibson clearly felt he had a reason to celebrate because he captioned this photo with a message about the success of his latest Fast and the Furious film. He wrote: “We made history in the region the MOST PRE-SALES in the history of these theaters put here!!!!!!! YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING you guys make me feel most welcome here I’m humbled by your love and support! Shout to our hardworking CAST and CREW who worked in 5 countries and multiple states to create our baby #FateOfTheFurious to all of the fans worldwide we LOVE YOU appreciate you more than you could ever know!!!!!!!!!”
3 Khloe Kardashian Sparked Controversy With Her Niqab
In 2013, Khloe Kardashian visited Dubai Mall to promote the Kardashian sisters’ fashion line for Lipsy, and according to E! News, she took to social media to announce her arrival. But when Khloe returned to the city again in 2015, she was slammed for her selfie.
TMZ reports that Khloe landed in Dubai and not long after she shared a photo of herself wearing a niqab, and she received backlash for being disrespectful to the tradition of the garment by doing so. People accused the reality star of wearing the niqab, not because she wanted to be respectful, but because she was using it as a fashion statement. She captioned the photo in question with “Habibi love,” but New York Daily News notes that the Arabic term of endearment is Habibi for a man and Habibti for a woman (which would mean that Kardashian also used the wrong terminology).
Yes, this photo doesn’t show her partying, but if you agree with the backlash then she is trying too hard. The comments on the image she posted are varied and while some fans think she did a good thing, others disagree. One follower wrote, “Why would you want to wear this???
2 Nicki Minaj Thinks Dubai Is ‘Turnt Up’
The most recent party that Nicki Minaj made headlines for was at Coachella 2018, when she hung out with some surprising people, including Kylie Jenner and Shania Twain (and she gushed about how awesome Twain is in real-life on Instagram after their meeting). But before this event, Minaj was partying it up at N’Dulge club in Dubai with her ex-boyfriend, Meek Mill, and if this photo is proof of anything, she looked to be having a really good time.
In 2016, she performed the last show of her Pink Print World Tour at the outdoor performance space, the Autism Rocks Arena, located beside the Dubai Outlet Mall, The National reports. And she was also joined on stage by Mill for their track, “All Eyes on You.”
Although the show was a little tamer than Minaj’s usual performance, and her dance moves were not as freaky, as she told the audience she wanted to “tone down the show” for the United Arab Emirates, and added, “I usually get really freaky on this one but I can’t get freaky on this stage.” She also admitted to enjoying her time at her concert, and according to the publication, towards the end of the show she exclaimed, “I didn’t think Dubai would be this turnt up.”
