Controversial Pakistani YouTuber and TikToker Rajab Butt has sparked fresh online debate after a video surfaced on social media showing him celebrating what appears to be the birth of his son, while being thousands of miles away from his family in Pakistan and facing mounting legal troubles at home.

 

In the widely circulated video, Rajab Butt is seen dancing in the streets of the UK, surrounded by balloons emblazoned with “baby boy” and accompanied by celebratory drum beats. Though the video strongly suggests the arrival of a newborn, Butt has yet to officially confirm the birth of his child.

 

 

 

 

The content creator had previously announced that he and his wife Emaan were expecting their first child. The family also held a lavish baby shower. His wife, who was living with her parents after a conflict between the two, also came back to Rajab’s house in Lahore. The controversial vlogger remained in Dubai meanwhile before departing for the UK, citing legal threats as the reason for his continued absence from Pakistan.

 

In a recent video, Rajab mentioned having a bad dream about his family and urged fans to keep his wife and unborn child in their prayers. Social media platforms have since been flooded with speculation and congratulatory messages, though no official announcement has been made by Rajab or his family regarding the child’s birth.

 

The celebration video comes at a time when Rajab Butt is embroiled in serious legal controversies. Just last week, a Lahore court directed the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) to take legal action against the YouTuber over blasphemy allegations.

 

The accusations stem from the controversial launch of his perfume brand earlier this year, during which Rajab was accused of hurting religious sentiments and mocking blasphemy laws. Following public outcry and a case filed under Pakistan’s cybercrime laws, he issued a public apology, claimed he meant no harm, and announced the closure of the brand. Shortly thereafter, he left Pakistan.

 

Adding to his woes, the Lahore High Court (LHC) recently sought a detailed report from police in connection with a rape case in which Rajab Butt and two others, including Man Dogar, were named. During a hearing on the bail petition of co-accused Salman Haider, the investigating officer informed the court that Haider had been found guilty in the preliminary inquiry.

 

However, the complainant’s lawyer argued that the investigation was deeply flawed, raising concerns about how Rajab Butt and Man Dogar were cleared of charges. The court has now asked the authorities to explain the basis for their release.

 

The news of his son’s birth is yet to be confirmed till the time of reporting this video.
