Mohamed Ramadan is not paying his dues.
Over the weekend, Egyptian artist Mohamed Ramadan has announced that the Egyptian government has withheld his funds where he keeps in CIB (Commercial International Bank).
Mohamed Ramadan recounted the details of the call with the bank employee while drinking his morning coffee and parading his jewels and expensive watch.
He said: "I woke up today on a call from the bank telling me the state has blocked my money,"
"I replied that me, my money, my house, and the meat of my shoulders belong to my country and its people,"
But before you think that Ramadan is a chivalrous man, wait until you hear his next line before ending the video.
He said: "For peasants, folky and Sa'idi people like us, we keep money in our houses as much as we deposite in the bank," Finishing his statement by challenging the government with the phrase: "We got ourselves covered."
In return, CIB issued a statement to clarify the incident, stating that "No account is seized except by a judicial order or ruling from a judicial authority", adding that they must inform the client with the withholding as part of the bank's procedures.
The Reason Why Mohamed Ramadan Funds Are Blocked
Banking sources revealed that fund withholding is related to the judicial ruling issued in favor of the late pilot Ashraf Abu Al-Yusr.
Appeals Economic Court has ruled, on April 7, to oblige the artist, Mohamed Ramadan, to pay 6 million pounds (384,000) dollars, as compensation for the damage he sustained as a result of the "airplane image crisis".
Following the fuzz created by Ramadan's video, he posted yet another clip to provoke followers even more, which is the usual method he follows to seek fame.
Mohamed tapped himself while getting a haircut and smoking a cigarette in his extravagant mansion.
He also took advantage of the current situation to promote his new song Thabet (Steady) as it matches what he's going through at the moment.
