Pop star jailed for sexily eating banana

An Egyptian pop star is headed to jail because she appeared in a music video wearing her underwear and suggestively eating a banana, reports said.

Shaimaa Ahmed, 25, known as Shyma, was arrested last month after the video caused an uproar in the conservative northeastern African country, BBC reported.

On Tuesday, Ahmed was found guilty of inciting debauchery and publishing an indecent film and was sentenced to two years in prison, the outlet said.

The video’s director was also sentenced to two years behind bars.

Ahmed apologized before her arrest to the citizens who took her video “in an inappropriate way.”

“I didn’t imagine all this would happen and that I would be subjected to such a strong attack from everyone,” she wrote on her now-deleted Facebook page.
