I have never heard of that guy before three minutes ago, but your comment intrigued me and I couldn't figure out why gay marriage legalization would make someone "flee" the country. So I looked at wikipedia. Supposedly the reason he left seems to be more related to legal issues involving his not paying child support, and it was to Luxembourg not Morocco.
It's a pretty short article and maybe there's an escape to Morocco as well that just didn't make it into the article.
I posted my comment based on what I read few years ago, 2015 iirc. But its a nice thing thing to know that I (and the person who gave the info) was wrong.
Edit to add a source, it was in 2013: https://www.moroccoworldnews.com/2013/06/94509/france-same-sex-marriage-pushes-cheb-khaled-to-move-to-morocco
Thanks for digging that source up, that's interesting
his album Kenza is pretty good
