'Didi' (Arabic: دي دي) is a song written and performed by Algerian artist Khaled, released in 1992. The song was the lead single from the singer's eponymous album Khaled.
'Didi' peaked at number nine in the French Singles Chart and remained on the 'Top 50' chart for 20 weeks, making it the first tune sung in Arabic to chart in France.[2] It also topped the singles charts in Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia.[2]
The music video was directed by Philippe Gautier.
On April 3, 2015, Khaled was convicted for plagiarism of Didi, from Angui ou Selmi, a musical composition recorded by Cheb Rabah (born Rabah Zerradine) in 1988.[3][4][5] Cheb Rabah has also been compensated by Cheb Mami for plagiarizing his texts.[6]
But on May 13, 2016, Court of Cassation removed the charges against Khaled, when a 1982 audio tape with the song was shown. This tape was recorded by Khaled and given to a producer located in Oran, 6 years before Cheb Rabah's record. In the end, Rabah had to compensate Khaled for the fees during this case.[7]
