It started when the contestant Noha Raheem from Tunisia stepped onto the stage in preparation to impress the panel and try to get selected by of one of the coaches to join their team.

Alama was able to push the block button to prevent Ahlam from competing to win the talent and join her team. The block button is a feature that the program management added in the current fifth season.

Ahlam was thinking about turning for the talent at the same time Ragheb blocked her, but she didn't noticed what Ragheb had done.
Program presenter, Nardeen Faraj, hysterically laughed at Ahlam who did not pay attention to Ragheb's block, until Mohamed Hamaki intervened to draw her attention to the situation.
As soon as Ahlam realized what happened, she asked, “who blocked me?” She then turned to the talent and said, “if I wasn't blocked, who would you choose?” She replied, “Ahlam.”
Ragheb Alama tried to tease Ahlam although she eventually admitted the block was well-timed. The contestant picked Ragheb as her coach at the end, choosing him over Mohamed Hamaki and Samira Said. Ragheb gave the talent a cap as a gift with his initial "A" on it, after which Ahlam referred to the singer and said ''her loss."
