During a live broadcast of the reality music show "The Voice All Stars," a comment by mentor Noa Kirel about her ex-boyfriend Yonatan Margit sparked attention. After a performance by contestant Yahli Amos Akunis, mentor Static compared the contestant to Margit, whom he had previously worked with. Kirel then added that Margit's absence represented a "missing slot," which host Michael Aloni playfully interpreted as Margit himself being missing. Kirel quickly clarified her intention was to refer to a missing type of male pop star in the local music scene, not her personal life.
The exchange occurred amidst a public music feud between Kirel, Static, and Margit. The conflict escalated with the release of Kirel and Static's song "Obsessive Exes," which contained lyrics perceived as digs at their respective ex-partners. Static's lyrics alluded to his ex, Rona-Lee Shim'on, while Kirel's lyrics were seen as targeting Margit. Margit responded with a preview of a new song on social media, criticizing Kirel's focus on views and her canceled wedding, and suggesting she would "burn everything" to stay relevant.
Sources close to Margit stated that the song was a long-simmering response to years of songs perceived as referencing his past relationship with Kirel. They emphasized that while the new song was written over time, it reflects his desire to express personal experiences musically. The official song is expected for release next week.
Kirel's past relationships, including with Barak Shamir, Margit, Tomer Cohen, and currently with Daniel Peretz, have been widely covered by the media. Her relationship with Margit lasted three years before their separation in September 2021. Her engagement to Peretz was a highly publicized event, underscoring her reluctance to revisit past romantic dramas, even in jest.
