He was detained over a song deemed insulting to President Michel Suleiman, a former army chief. Slandering the president carries a maximum two-year sentence in Lebanon. Officials reportedly took exception to the lyrics: 'General go home'. He was released the day after, and was told to "go home".When the 2019 financial crisis hit Lebanon, Zeid Hamdan was about to release “the Beit Project” a collaboration with Tanjaret Daghet , Muhammad Abdullah from the Band “ El Morabba3” and himself. The project was due to be launched on the 19th October, but demonstration started on October 17 and it was the beginning of the uprising in Lebanon.

At that period Zeid Hamdan had started to collaborate with Lynn Adib. They would meet regularly and record demos at Zeid's studio “Lebanese Underground Studio” in Geitawi, Beirut.

During this period the pandemic started worldwide and the lockdowns were an opportunity for Zeid to focus on the production work with Lynn Adib.
