so does america. i really don’t get the extra hate for our good buddies the Saudis like these entertainers and whatever aren’t living and working in the good ol’ USA the rest of the time making money for horrible people at home.
Also he lives in the US so it’s not like he had a choice when starting out. It’s more of an issue when foreign entertainers choose to move to LA and NYC after they’ve already made it in their countries and are living very well compared to the average person in their home country.
i’ve heard of entertainers getting some local heat for “selling out” and switching to english or whatnot but i’ve never seen that be about the great satant in the way anyone who does anything with the saudis is criticized for that.
I wouldn’t criticize a Saudi comedian for living and performing in Saudi Arabia, it’s a legitimate job and you have to work where you live. If a Saudi comedian was paid millions by Donald Trump to come to the USA to go and perform for him then I would criticize that.
If we’re comparing apples to apples here it’s only fair you invert the entire scenario

Being paid directly by the crown does hit different. Performing within the US is one thing, performing specifically for Trump would be something else
