The talented musician has found himself in hot water when his legal tactics failed to intimidate Berdah. The defamation lawsuits that Booba launched were merely a façade and excessive in nature, according to Berdah's lawyers. The situation took a turn for Berdah in May 2022, when she announced filing a complaint against the artist for cyberharassment.
In her complaint, Berdah expressed feelings of extreme distress and expressed that she had no other recourse but to seek justice. Booba was later charged with "harassment" in October 2023. However, he continues to be under investigation for "aggravated moral harassment," according to Berdah's recent statement.
