"She likes to drag things" — When Dubai Bling star Ebraheem Al Samadi addressed his conflict with Zeina

Back in April 2024, Dubai Bling star Ebraheem Al Samadi addressed the continuing disagreement with co-star Zeina Khoury during an exclusive interview with Life N Style magazine. When asked about the prominent storyline focusing on their conflict in season two, Al Samadi stated,

"Zeina doesn't have much of a storyline, and her storyline is basically me. So she tries to prolong things and to make them about her. For me, I just want to get things over with, finish and just move on. But apparently, she likes to drag things out."

The statement came after multiple failed reconciliation attempts between the former friends through both seasons of the Netflix reality series. Their feud began with business disagreements but expanded into personal attacks.

Despite a public apology at the end of Dubai Bling season 1, their relationship remained fractured through season 2, impacting group events and social gatherings.

Ebraheem Al Samadi's long running conflict with Zeina in Dubai Bling

Ebraheem Al Samadi and Zeina's relationship deteriorated rapidly through season 1, marked by increasingly hostile exchanges. Early episodes showed signs of strain in their friendship, but matters escalated when a verbal disagreement turned physical during a group gathering.

Though Ebraheem publicly apologized as season 1 wrapped up, his private conversations continued criticizing Zeina. Cast member DJ Bliss attempted to mediate multiple times, arranging meetings to resolve their differences. However, these peace talks consistently broke down because both parties brought up past grievances.

The feud continued in Dubai Bling season 2. In one of the workplace incidents, Ebraheem Al Samadi arrived at Zeina's office unannounced with Danya Mohammed. The confrontation quickly intensified as Ebraheem challenged Zeina's professional standing. He openly questioned her authority in the company and proposed purchasing the business outright.

During this heated exchange, Ebraheem demanded Zeina contact the company owner regarding his interest in acquiring the business. The situation grew more hostile when Ebraheem and Danya began discussing Zeina's compensation package. They directly stated the company would hold more value without her involvement.

Zeina maintained her position of seeking basic professional courtesy when the cast film together. She expressed her desire to move past the conflict multiple times during filming. However, group events remained tense as the two avoided direct interaction.

Both parties continued their successful business ventures separately despite their ongoing disagreements. Zeina focused on her real estate endeavors while Ebraheem expanded his retail operations. Their professional paths remained separate, with no signs of future collaboration.

Failed reconciliation attempt

The attempt at peace occurred during Mona's fragrance launch party. DJ Bliss coordinated this meeting with hopes of ending the Dubai Bling feud. The conversation started when Ebraheem declared,

"We both don't like each other."

Zeina immediately dismissed this statement as false.

The meeting spiraled into accusations when Ebraheem claimed Zeina and her husband had pointed fingers and yelled at him during previous reconciliation efforts. DJ Bliss's mediation efforts ended without success as both parties left the event, maintaining their positions.

Current status

As Dubai Bling season 3 premiered, their feud is still on. During the cast's New Year gathering, Ebraheem openly commented on Zeina's decision to branch into independent real estate operations. While offering good wishes, he revealed in a private confessional segment that Zeina "would be surprised by what's in store."

During the episode, Zeina received an anonymous package containing a t-shirt with the message,

"You're not the company"

However, the sender remained unidentified. This incident occurred despite the cast publicly supporting her business launch at the party.
