Egyptian actress Menna Shalaby commented on Mohamed Gamal's performance during the "Night of Tears" event, where he appeared dressed in all black as the famous pessimistic character "Am Deyaa". Gamal commented on a post shared by viewers saying, "When they want to do the Night of Tears event, they bring all the men singers," to which he replied, "Behind every sad man is a woman, end of life." Shalaby jokingly responded, "And behind every sad woman is a man, my brother, end of discussion," to draw attention to women's support for her opinion. The Night of Tears event is an annual event held in Egypt where singers perform sad songs.
