Released a clarification statement through his official Facebook account, Egyptian artist Ahmed Al-Owaidi put an end to the controversy surrounding his latest remarks on the program 'Qissati.'

He denied directing any insult or negative implication toward any party.

He explained that the metaphor used—widely discussed and circulated by viewers regarding 'cars'—referred generally to stages of life, not romantic relationships as some assumed.

Al-Owaidi expressed regret for any misinterpretation of his words, emphasizing that he always strives to act with ethics and offer proper appreciation.

He specifically mentioned actress Yasmin Abdel Aziz, affirming that he holds her and everyone else in the highest regard, describing her as "the first star of the Arab world."

He affirmed that he cherishes all good memories from those who have crossed his path, stressing that apology becomes necessary whenever words are misunderstood. Al-Owaidi concluded his statement by expressing profound gratitude to Yasmin Abdel Aziz for what she has done for him throughout his artistic journey, wishing her continued success and brilliance.

These clarifications come after widespread debate erupted across social media platforms over the past few hours, following his appearance on the show 'Qissati.'

During the interview, Al-Owaidi made a remark using a car analogy to describe stages of ascent and development in his life; a clip taken from the interview went viral, comparing driving different types of cars (a reference to improving circumstances and his gradual rise in life).
