Popular yet controversial Pakistani YouTuber Rajab Butt has announced a temporary break from vlogging after facing serious allegations of blasphemy and other legal issues. In a recent TikTok live session, he confirmed that he has left the country and will no longer post new content without his mother’s permission.
Serious Allegations Spark Major Fallout
Rajab Butt has recently come under fire for allegedly making disrespectful remarks about Islamic personalities in one of his videos. A citizen filed a complaint at the Lahore High Court, accusing Butt of blasphemy—a charge that can lead to serious legal consequences under Section 295A and C of Pakistan’s Penal Code.
In response, Rajab obtained interim bail, but the incident triggered intense backlash on social media and sparked widespread debates.
TikTok Live: Emotional Farewell to Vlogging
In his Thursday night TikTok live, Rajab clarified his decision:
> “I will not upload any new vlog without my mother’s consent. She is deeply disturbed by recent events and even came to see me off at the airport.”
While he did not reveal his exact location, he hinted at continuing TikTok live sessions during his break from full-time content creation.
> “I’m not saying goodbye to vlogging forever. I’ve recorded some clarification videos, which I will release at the right time.”
A History of Legal Trouble and Public Criticism
This isn’t Rajab Butt’s first brush with controversy. Over the past 6–7 months, he has faced:
Assault allegations, following a viral video in May showing him and his team beating a young man.
Complicity in illegal confinement, tied to a separate rape and blackmail case against his cousin Salman Haider.
A prior arrest in January for possessing a lion cub illegally and displaying firearms after his wedding.
Outrage over naming his personal fragrance line “295“, referencing Pakistan’s blasphemy law section.
Each incident has further strained his public image, with many calling for accountability.
Unconventional Promotion and Business Moves
Rajab Butt was also criticized for launching a paid online course platform alongside fellow creators Ducky Bhai and Nadeem Nani Wala, which was widely mocked online for its pricing and perceived lack of value.
These repeated controversies have sparked widespread discussions on ethics in influencer culture, especially in Pakistan’s growing social media ecosystem.
What’s Next for Rajab Butt?
Although Rajab maintains that he’s waiting for the situation to improve, it remains unclear whether he will resume full-time vlogging. The public’s trust appears shaken, and his future may depend heavily on legal outcomes and public reception of his upcoming explanation videos.
If the word-of-mouth and criticism persist, Rajab Butt’s return might be more complicated than he anticipates.
