Star Academy 11
editAmir competed in the 11th season of Star Academy Arab World. He was the second Moroccan male ever to be accepted on to the show. Ihab won people's hearts from the get go, mainly due to his pride in showcasing the Moroccan dialect with the other candidates ,his decent character and his multi-talent. Amir was never named by any of the show's judges for nomination up until the week of his exit when he was finally named a nominee. Amir was nominated only once on the show. During this nomination he was shown to have lost the public vote, which raised allegations that the show tampered with the results. Fans of Amir expressed their outrage through social media 1 January 2016.[1][2]
