Shama Hamdan puts an end to the controversy after linking her tweet to Ayed: That's not what I meant.

Social media has been abuzz in the past few hours after Emirati artist Shama Hamdan shared a tweet that sparked widespread controversy among her followers. Some considered it a direct reference to Saudi artist Ayed Yousef, prompting widespread speculation and analysis.

Controversial post and speculation linking the statement to Ayed

Shama wrote in her tweet: “The scourge of (15 minutes of fame) has produced an artist who thinks he is an Arab icon. We ask God to heal those who have been afflicted with the disease of arrogance and the epidemic of hypocrisy 🤲🏻.” Many X users interpreted this as an indirect attack on Ayed, especially after a previous post on Snapchat in which he re-shared a comment from one of his followers, accompanied by the phrase “Ayed Hamdan,” a reference that some considered provocative.

Nayef Hamdan's intervention and Shamma's clarification change the course of the debate.

Amid the comments, Naif Hamdan, a well-known digital personality, appeared to comment on Shamma’s tweet, joking: “He means me, Umm Hamdan, may God keep you safe,” in an attempt to ease the tension. Meanwhile, Shama quickly shared an old photo of her with Ayed, confirming: “I said (15 minutes of fame), and Ayed is well-known and has a long history of successes, so it’s clear that I didn’t mean him… Don’t cause any disagreements between me and him, Ayed, we are colleagues and nothing but goodness unites us.”

Audience reactions: between hype and appreciation

Shama's clarification was well-received by many followers, who expressed their satisfaction with her elegant way of handling the controversy. Others, however, felt that social media has become a fertile ground for the amplification and distortion of positions, urging people not to be drawn into inaccurate interpretations or make hasty judgments about celebrities.
