‘Dubai Bling‘ season 3 premiered on Netflix on January 8, 2025. As expected, it was full of drama and entertainment. Fans labelled Ebraheem Al Samadi as the “villain” of season 3 due to his frequent clashes with other cast members including Zeina Khoury, Farhana Bodi, and DJ Bliss. In an earlier interview with LovinDubai, Zeina Khoury, too, called Ebraheem a “villain”.
Now, Ebraheem has responded to the backlash claiming he’s ‘more than that’. Speaking with L’Officiel Arabia, he said, “They wanted glitz and controversy, but I’m more than that. I wanted to show my heart, my relationships, the real struggles and triumphs.”

During the candid conversation, Ebraheem also looked back on his Dubai journey. “I didn’t come to Dubai for the glamour. I came to build something meaningful – not just for myself, but for everyone whose lives I could impact along the way,” said Al Samadi.
Ebraheem moved to Dubai in 2010 and founded the Al Samadi Group. He is the founder and CEO of ‘Forever Rose‘, a company that sells rose that can last for years without water or sunlight. He also own other businesses including My Forever Rose Café, Rejuvemenow, Besties Café, and others.
