Internationally she might be known for her collaborations with Akon, with whom she collaborated once on the song "Yalli Naseeni",[6] and Dr. Alban, with whom she collaborated twice; in 2008 on the song "Habibi (Somebody Call My Name)" (part of her second album), and in 2010 with the song "Tell Me Wath U Want (Gharamak)".[7][8]
