The Egyptian artist Ahmed El Awadi has ignited significant controversy on social media following his sharp responses to critics regarding his intention to remarry, which some have deemed shocking and provocative.
A Direct Response
In an interview with the show ET بالعربي, El Awadi appeared unfazed by the backlash, asserting: "Is marriage forbidden? Those who are bothered, too bad... When will I marry? Soon, God willing."
He added firmly: "Am I supposed to apologize for someone being disturbed? Shouldn't we all get married?"
A Massive Reaction and Harsh Criticism
El Awadi's comments have sparked a firestorm on social media, with the clip garnering over 30,000 comments in a short span. Reactions are divided between those who support his personal freedom and those who criticize his attitude as "excessive" and "unfortunate."
One user remarked: "There is a calmer way to express oneself."
Another commented: "An odd and unjustified reaction."
The Name of Yasmine Abdel Aziz Resurfaces
His ex-wife, artist Yasmine Abdel Aziz, has also been mentioned in the comments, with some users referencing their past marriage. One wrote: "I don't understand how Yasmine Abdel Aziz could have married him."
Statements That Fuel the Flames
El Awadi recently intensified the controversy by announcing during a Facebook live session that he would appear next year with his wife, adding: "Next year, my wife and I, and the year after, my wife, me, and our child."
His claims of being "the highest-paid and most-watched in Egypt" have also drawn criticism, with some perceiving it as a display of superiority and narcissism.
Journalists Weigh In
A number of journalists and artists have joined the debate, including journalist Riham Said, who accused El Awadi of "disregarding good deeds," emphasizing that his success was not merely coincidental.
Journalist Radwa El Sherbiny also made an indirect comment, stating: "Those who talk about salary and fame should also acknowledge those who helped and supported them."
