Egyptian media host Amr Adib announced Sunday that he is filing a lawsuit against Mohamed Ramadan over charges of slander after Ramadan uploaded various satirical videos online mocking Adib. “Today, I asked my attorney to file a case against the artist, Mohamed Ramadan, and any money I would take from Ramadan, I’ll bring it to the (Abu al-Rish) Children’s Hospital,” Adib said. This follows recent criticism from Adib towards Ramadan following a court ruling ordering that actor pay LE six million in compensation to pilot Ashraf Aboul Yousr. The lawyer representing Aboul Yousr, Magdy Helmy, stated that his client suffered material and moral damages after Ramadan published a picture on social media in a plane’s cockpit in October 2019. The lawsuit alleges that Ramadan used the image to promote his new song “Mesh Batfatesh fel Matar” (I am Not Searched at the Airport), that included the image of him piloting the plane.
