Egyptian singer Rahma Mohsen has publicly dismissed rumors of a feud with actor Ahmed El Awady following her exclusion from his upcoming Ramadan 2027 drama series “Sultan El Deeb”, attributing her social media activity to lighthearted joking while praising his foundational role in her career.
Speculation swept social media after announcements confirmed that Rahma Mohsen would not appear in Ahmed El Awady’s anticipated Ramadan series, titled “Sultan El Deeb”. Observers pointed to her activity on Instagram, where she unfollowed El Awady while following artist Yasmin Abdel Aziz, as potential signs of an underlying dispute. Mohsen addressed the online chatter directly during media appearances, insisting that no crisis exists between them.
“What we have is a bit of heavy joking.”

Appearing on the program “Fi El Sir” hosted by Hisham El Souifi, she explicitly denied any connection between unfollowing El Awady and her following Yasmin Abdel Aziz, noting that she has followed Abdel Aziz’s account since its creation nearly a decade ago.
Career Impact and Casting Choices for Sultan El Deeb
Despite her exclusion from the upcoming production, Mohsen repeatedly emphasized El Awady's crucial contribution to her artistic journey, stating that his previous support helped her bypass years of struggle to connect with audiences quickly. When pressed by her interviewer to send a direct message that would put the rumors to rest, she offered a warm endorsement.
I love you… I am dying for you.
For his part, El Awady maintained that professional disagreements and differing viewpoints naturally occur during collaborative projects without requiring third-party mediators or signaling the end of a relationship.
