Aladdin star Mena Massoud wants to start charging for his content on social media — and fans aren’t happy about it.

Mena added that he also planned to discuss things that he’s “never ever talked about,” like philosophy.

Unfortunately, the news got a pretty mixed response, with many slamming Mena for asking people to pay for content that should be free.

In response, Mena tried to reassure fans that his typical content will still be available without a charge.

“Content will remain the same. Subscription is just for people who want more personal content,” Mena replied to a fan who couldn’t afford the fee.

Finally, Mena admitted that he did a “horrible job” explaining the whole thing.

“You won’t notice anything has changed. I did a horrible job explaining this,” Mena wrote. “It’s just for people who want more/personal content.”

Although there were quite a few negative comments, some fans did show their support for Mena — encouraging him to do whatever he needed to pay his bills.

And Mena’s decision to utilize Instagram’s subscription service comes after he previously admitted that his role in Aladdin didn’t quite guarantee the success people have assumed.
