The association called for blocking these artists from performing in the Kingdom, saying they exploited art to fan sectarian unrest, which is contrary to the spirit of art.

Chairman of the association, Muhammad Al-Ghamdi, asked the Ministry of Culture and Information to take a strong stand against these artists, including not allowing their work to be shown in Saudi media.
