'Publicity stunt': Fans react to Minahil Malik, singer Umair ending fight within a day

Pakistani TikToker Minahil Malik recently accused singer Umair Awan of incorporating personal details from her life into his new song Laareya, but the drama has now been resolved.

Just a day after the accusation, both appeared in a joint Instagram video, surprising fans with an unexpected truce.

Umair said, “Hello everyone, I’m Umair Awan and I’m currently at Farha Api’s salon. I want to make it clear that I have no issues with Minahil. All the misunderstandings between us have been resolved.”

Farha added, “Yes, I had requested Umair to come and end this fight. I also told Minahil to take back the application she submitted to the FIA. Now, there’s no fight between them.”

Minahil agreed, saying, “Yes, there’s no fight between us anymore.”

The sudden reconciliation led fans to believe that the entire conflict may have been a publicity stunt.

Social media reactions were mixed, “Nice way to promote a song!”

“The song got promoted... now the drama’s over 😂”

“Fake drama didn’t even get you views 😂 no point at all!"

Earlier, Minahil had threatened legal action against Umair for including private matters in Laareya. She gave him 24 hours to delete the song, claiming it violated her privacy.

She posted a video on Instagram, warning him: "I told you not to mess with me, Umair Awan. Now go and see what happened to your song—everything’s gone, bro. Go check on YouTube."

In response, Umair Awan released his own video saying, “Minahil, you’re taking unfair advantage of my silence. You went ahead with legal action and even filed an FIR. But I’ll never delete the song. InshaAllah it will stay on YouTube.

And now the action I’m going to take, and the clip I’m going to add... just search Laareya by Umair Awan on YouTube. You’ll understand what a real clip is.”

Umair remained firm, refusing to take the song down.

The track, featuring Haris alongside Umair, was uploaded three days ago and has already crossed 99,000 views on YouTube.
