When Mohamed Ramadan made history as the first Egyptian artist to perform at Coachella, it was undoubtedly a monumental achievement. The global stage, the vibrant crowd, the iconic festival—it was all a huge deal.
But as often happens when stars step out into the limelight, it wasn’t just his performance that caught everyone’s attention. His outfit, which was meant to evoke the grandeur of ancient Egyptian royalty, quickly became a topic of fierce debate.

It began when some fans and critics took a look at his bold “Pharaonic” ensemble and, well, didn’t quite see the royalty he was aiming for.
Instead, many found themselves comparing it to something a little more… unexpected. The outfit, which featured intricate details and dramatic styling, was quickly roasted online with some claiming it resembled a bra more than anything regal.
The backlash came quickly and forcefully, with social media buzzing over the look. But if there’s one thing we know about Mohamed Ramadan, it’s that he’s never one to shy away from a challenge, especially when it comes to his fashion choices.
Rather than letting the insults slide, the Egyptian superstar fired back in true Ramadan fashion.

In a video posted to his social media, Ramadan addressed the comments with his signature confidence. He explained that his outfit was a deliberate nod to Egypt’s ancient Pharaonic culture, and that the intention was to capture the regal essence of Egypt’s history.
But what truly stole the show—and left everyone talking—was his response to the accusations that the outfit looked too feminine. “My real fans know I would never wear anything that suggests a feminine look,” he stated.
Then, with a cheeky grin and a glint in his eye, he dropped the bombshell: “I don’t wear bras, I take them off!”
The comment was classic Mohamed Ramadan—a mix of boldness, humor, and a little bit of bravado. It was a line that not only shut down the critics but also showed the world that Ramadan isn’t afraid to embrace his individuality, even if it means taking a few jabs along the way.
The reactions were swift. Some fans took to social media to praise his comeback, calling it a masterclass in confidence and wit. His supporters admired the way he handled the situation, standing up for his artistic vision while still maintaining his sense of humor.
Critics continued to voice their opinions, with some insisting that Ramadan should have taken the criticism more seriously, especially given the cultural significance of his performance.
For them, his response came off as too dismissive or even arrogant. There were even those who claimed that his comeback perpetuated negative stereotypes or undermined the seriousness of the outfit’s inspiration.
Regardless of the divided opinions, one thing is certain: Mohamed Ramadan has once again proved that he’s not afraid to stir the pot.
Whether you loved his look or hated it, whether you admired his response or found it off-putting, he’s succeeded in getting people to talk about him—and isn’t that the ultimate goal of a star?
