ALBAWABA - Egyptian singer Mohamed Ramadan has sparked controversy by posting Instagram photographs from his North Coast performance rehearsal, seemingly ignoring the recent tragic vehicle accident that claimed the lives of four Egyptian producers. In response to the incident, the public and his followers have condemned his actions, calling him callous and uncaring.
The hit television series "The Prince" was one of many projects on which the producers, who tragically died in the disaster, worked with Ramadan. Many of Ramadan's followers find it especially shocking that he seems oblivious to their deaths, given the close working connection they had. Some think he lacks empathy since he chose to promote his event instead of addressing the tragedy.
Many people have spoken out against Ramadan's behavior on social media. A number of commenters voiced their dismay, with several adding that, considering his history with the late creators, they had anticipated the celebrity to show more empathy. "It's disheartening to see someone who has worked so closely with these individuals act as if nothing happened," a user said. "A simple tribute or condolence message would have shown that he cares."
Some, however, have hypothesized that Ramadan's seeming quiet is really the result of a long-standing grudge between him and the victims. This may explain his lack of recognition, but it hasn't alleviated people's dissatisfaction. Given the severity of the loss, many believe it's important to set grudges aside.
Because of this, many have started comparing him to Mohamed Sobhi, another famous Egyptian artist. Despite his personal issues with the United Company, Sobhi extended his sympathies in the aftermath of the catastrophe. People praised his expertise and respect, highlighting Ramadan's perceived insensitivity.
Mohamed Ramadan's standing in the community has diminished as the scandal has progressed. This story shows how influential public figures can be during crises and how important empathy is. It is unclear at this time if Ramadan will respond to the criticism by paying homage or apologizing. The public's lingering dissatisfaction overshadows his recent professional accomplishments.
