Saad Lamjarred (Arabic: سعد لمجرد ‎; born April 7, 1985) is a Moroccan singer-songwriter, dancer, and record producer.

Lamjarred moved to the US in 2001 and cites this as one of the main sources of inspiration for his music, crediting the experience for exposing him to western music and having a defining effect on his style and the type of artist he wanted to identify as.

In 2007, Lamjarred took part in Super Star, a widely popular Arab talent TV show, and was placed second in season 4 of the series that was won by the Tunisian Marwan Ali. His participation earned him recognition.

In February 2010 while visiting the United States, Saad Lamjarred was accused of beating and raping a woman from Brooklyn, New York. Lamjarred fled the U.S. after posting bail and was in risk of being arrested if he returned. The case was dropped in 2016, after the accuser “stopped cooperating with prosecutors” and reached a settlement in a lawsuit.

In 2011, Lamjarred started his acting career, playing the male lead in Ahlam Nassim, a Moroccan soap opera. He released an album in 2013, titled Wala Aalik. That same year, he released two more EPs, namely Salina and Enty. The title song of the latter, “Enty” (Arabic: أنتي ‎), became one of Lamjarred’s biggest hits and earned him an award at the Méditel Morocco Music Awards 2014, as well as a nomination for the Best Middle East Act at the 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards.

Lamjarred was also nominated for the Best Middle East Act at the 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards. He won the Murex d’Or in the category of “Best Arabic Song” for his 2014 song “Enty”.

Lamjarred leads a very private love life, but there were confirmed rumors that he was once married, and divorced around 2015. When asked about it by the media, he blamed jealousy, claiming that it could “really destroy lives”, especially since he works in entertainment.

The music video for Lamjarred’s 2015 hit single, “Lm3allem” (Arabic: لمعلم ‎), earned a Guinness World Record achievement after garnering 500 million views on YouTube within three months of release. As of March 2020, the video is the most viewed Arabic video on YouTube, garnering more than 800 million views.

Lamjarred was arrested at the Marriott Champs Elysées at the 17th arrondissement of Paris on October 25, 2016, where he appeared before a French prosecutor to face the charges about an alleged sexual assault against a French woman. He was scheduled to perform at the Palais des congrès de Paris on October 29, 2016. Lamjarred was released in 2017, but still faced charges. In early 2017, he was “prohibited from performing in public, traveling and speaking to media”. The King of Morocco, Mohammed VI, helped him cover his fees and hire a legal team. In 2017, a French-Moroccan woman accused him of sexual misconduct and abuse at an apartment in Casablanca, Morocco, back in 2015. She later withdrew the complaint “under pressure from her family”.

Following this success, Lamjarred’s music production took a brief gap while he was on trial in Paris for “sexual assault”, but soon made a come-back with his August 2017 comeback titled “Let Go”. It was an immediate hit, it earned about half a million views on YouTube within an hour of its release. Lamjarred later released new hit songs such as “Ghazali” (Arabic: غزالي ‎), another big hit that earned more than half a million views only minutes after the video went live at an average of 50 thousand views every five minutes. “Ghazali” was then succeeded by “Casablanca”, in which Lamjarred sings in French.

On August 26, 2018, he was once again arrested in Saint-Tropez on a new rape allegation in France. Lamjarred, who has denied the allegations, was released on a bail of 150,000 euros and could not leave France. His release on bail was later appealed by the Parquet of Draguignan (public prosecutor). On September 18, 2018, he was incarcerated in France following a decision of the cour d’appel (court of appeal) from Aix-en-Provence. On November 20, 2018, it was announced that he had been cleared of rape charges, but would be tried for “crimes of sexual assault and willful violence”. On December 6, 2018, it was announced that French authorities had released Lamjarred on a conditional release and that he was awaiting trial. His Moroccan passport was confiscated, he was not allowed to leave France and he had to report to the nearest precinct once a week.

August 2018 saw Lamjarred incarcerated once more in Saint Tropez, halting his music career again until December 2018, in which he released another single, titled “Baddek Eih” (Arabic: بدك ايه ‎) for his mother’s 70th birthday. Within 4 hours of publication, the official music video received over a million views on YouTube.

In September 2018, after a campaign on social networks, some Moroccan media stopped their broadcast of Lamjarred’s songs. In December 2018, he was released from jail after serving his sentence, but was unable to leave France until August 2019. On December 18, 2019, he had his first public concert in Riyadh after three years. Days before the concert, a number of Saudi users on Twitter expressed their disapproval of Lamjarred’s upcoming concert in the country’s capital.

In July 2019, Lamjarred performed and released a duet with Egyptian actor and fellow singer Mohamed Ramadan titled “Ensay” (Arabic: إنساي ‎), which garnered over 100 million views within a month of publication.
