Mena Massoud has deactivated his Twitter account! The 31-year-old best known for playing the lead role in the 2019 Disney fantasy film Aladdin has deleted his social media account from the platform.
On Saturday, May 13, 2023, The Royal Treatment actor took to his Twitter page and spilled the beans on his 2019 film Aladdin and he also talked about Disney’s upcoming film The Little Mermaid.
Massoud tweeted, “Our film was unique in that audiences went to watch it multiple times. It’s the only way we reached the billion dollar mark with our opening. My guess is TLM doesn’t cross the billion mark but will undoubtedly get a sequel.”

A large portion of Disney fans were not quite happy with Mena’s remarks on the film The Little Mermaid and they flooded his Twitter page with loads of messages. The users bashed him on various social media platforms including Twitter and Instagram.
A user wrote, “i loved aladdin and literally on top 5 of my most fave disney remakes. being pessimistic on a movie that hasn’t been out yet but praised by critics is just disappointing. im so disappointed in you.”
One social media user penned, “sir you’re being bitter cuz the movie is doing way better than aladdin despite it not even being out yet…😶.” Another one chimed in, “Mena massoud being bitter and racist cuz aladdin’s will not be getting a sequel after all and little mermaid is considered the best disney live action movie without being officially released.”

He just gave an opinion, what can’t he just say his opinion!!” Another one said, “Leave @menamassoud alone!!! Get off and unfollow him if you have don’t agree with his opinions!
