Ajram's virtual TikTok performance, which was set to take place on August 6, had been postponed following the deadly port blast in Beirut on August 4 that killed at least 100 people and injured thousands.

She is set to perform that concert on Friday, September 18, on the platform at 08:00 PM (Cairo time) – 09:00 (Lebanon time).

Ajram’s latest artistic work is performing the theme song of TV series “Sukar Ziyada”.
