" Through the voice of their lawyer, Isabelle Wekstein, the singer and his manager were quick to reply: "These claims are false and seriously undermine the honor and consideration of Abd al-Malik and Fabien Coste. " In a long statement, the lawyer goes further and explains the story: "In early 2008, Hatem Ben Arfa has tried repeatedly to contact the singer. It was on his insistence and after several months' Abd al-Malik agreed to meet with the player, appearing in search of spiritual guidance. Hatem Ben Arfa was in open conflict with his family and his club at the time (Olympique Lyonnais). He asked for help to the artist and his manager.
