Sozy El Ordoneya’s 100K Ask Sparks Debate!
The Comment That Lit a Fire
It all started when TV host Yasmine Elkhatib revealed on her show that influencer Sozy El Ordoneya had requested EGP 100,000 for a 30-minute guest appearance. The remark didn’t go unnoticed — and it didn’t sit quietly either.
Sozy Claps Back
Sozy responded confidently, stating she knew the value she would bring to the show. As someone trending across social media, she believed her appearance would boost viewership — and she wasn’t afraid to say it.
Mai Ibrahim Has Thoughts
TV host Mai Ibrahim quickly jumped to Sozy’s defense, calling out Yasmine Elkhatib and questioning the intent behind her comments. Mai emphasized the purpose of bloggers and digital creators in today’s media landscape, arguing that they’ve earned their place — and their rates.
More Creators Join the Chat The Internet’s Divided
Menna El Keiy, a songwriter, weighed in too. She backed Sozy, saying if shows want popular bloggers, they should expect to pay for it.
Meanwhile, blogger Shafiqa Shamel went even further — not only supporting Sozy, but saying EGP 100K wasn’t enough and Sozy should’ve asked for EGP 350K instead!
TikToker Nada Andrea also cheered Sozy on, urging her to keep doing her thing and not let the drama stop her.
The Internet’s Divided
While many are showing Sozy love….
Some are standing with Yasmine, questioning Sozy’s rate. But things got even messier when users pointed out that Yasmine herself invited TikToker Hadeer Abdelrazek to her show back in 2024 — a move that contradicts her criticism of bloggers today.
Bottom line? Whether you’re Team Sozy or Team Yasmine, one thing’s clear: influence costs — and it’s sparking real conversations.
