The Dokki Misdemeanor Court in Giza ruled on Thursday, to sentence artist Mohamed Ramadan to two years in prison. The sentence followed a complaint filed by a lawyer who accused the artist of publishing a song titled “Number One Ya Ansas” “Number One, You Halves/Inferior Ones”) on YouTube without obtaining the necessary permits.
The plaintiff stated in the investigation report that the song contained phrases that incited violence and contradicted societal values, demanding legal action be taken against the artist.
The referral came in case number 9213 of 2025, Dokki Misdemeanors, after the Public Prosecution finished examining the complaint and hearing testimony from the involved parties.
The media office of the artist, Mohamed Ramadan, had previously issued an official statement clarifying the truth regarding the recent circulation of news about his new song, “Number One Ya Ansas.”
The statement read: “The media office of artist Mohamed Ramadan followed the recent publication of misleading and incorrect news regarding the song (‘Number One Ya Ansas’), and the office confirms that the artist obtained all official licenses and permits from the competent authorities before releasing the work.”
