From street laughter to studio tracks, Ali Raouf proves he’s more than just a funny viral clip.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you must have come across the “begging with a kee-tar” video on social media. The video, although simple and somewhat silly, has brightened our day, especially amidst all the negative news we’ve been facing.
Now, we want you to meet Ali Raouf, the man behind the video that has officially taken over timelines.
A distributor, sound engineer, and all-around entertainer, he’s now best known as the guy who turned “begging with a guitar” into the internet’s latest obsession.
How It All Started
One random street performance, a guitar, and a cheeky line: “Ana bash7at bel guitar” (I’m beginning with a guitar).
That’s all it took for Raouf to skyrocket into trending charts.
The short clip of him singing and strumming went everywhere, and suddenly, everyone was quoting him.
The Man Behind the Meme
If you think Raouf is just about jokes, think again. He’s a music producer, sound engineer, singer, and dubbing artist.
He’s the singing voice of Timon in The Lion King live action, Camilo in Encanto, and more!
From Sidewalk to Studio
Instead of letting the moment fade, Raouf ran with it. On his socials, he said the song has already been recorded in a studio and promised a simple video clip this week.
As he put it:
“I’m so happy with the reactions to ‘I Beg With My Guitar.’ We decided to record it in the studio so you can listen anytime. The video clip will be shot simply this week, and I hope you’ll love it just as much.”
Not His First Viral Rodeo
This isn’t the first time Raouf has made noise online. In 2022, his “El Nabatshi” video went viral. In 2023, he broke the internet again by flipping Tamer Ashour’s love songs into shaabi bangers.
Now in 2025, “Ana bash7at bel guitar” proves one thing: Raouf knows how to keep us laughing while flexing his musical talent.
