Pakistani YouTuber and social media star Rajab Butt is in the spotlight again, stirring controversy over actor and TV host Fahad Mustafa’s remarks on family vlogging. In a recent interview, Butt reacted to Mustafa’s comments, calling them hypocritical and questioning his credibility as an industry veteran
Rajab Butt Takes Aim at Fahad Mustafa
Rajab Butt, a rising social media star, recently spoke out about the ongoing criticism he faces from mainstream media. He was frustrated with TV channels that they showed him in a bad light. Their captions make it seem like he is drunk or in trouble.
“I don’t understand why they do this, but it happens daily on TikTok,” Rajab shared, revealing that he keeps his phone on airplane mode to avoid the constant negativity. He directly criticized TV channels for unfairly picking on social media influencers, saying that traditional media changes stories to fit their interests.
The Controversy Took Another Turn
When actor and host Fahad Mustafa criticized family vloggers, accusing them of “selling their families” for online views. He firmly stated that he could never engage in such content. Rajab Butt didn’t hold back in his response, openly questioning Mustafa’s credibility and dismissing his remarks.
“I don’t even know who Fahad Mustafa is,” Rajab said bluntly. “I can’t respect someone who doesn’t act like a senior.” His response hinted that Mustafa’s attitude had failed to earn the respect of younger content creators, further fueling the ongoing debate between mainstream and digital media figures.
Hypocrisy in the Entertainment Industry?
Rajab Butt didn’t hold back in his criticism, calling out what he saw as hypocrisy in Fahad Mustafa’s remarks. He pointed out that actors in the entertainment industry also benefit from family-centric content, often using personal relationships and family bonds to attract audiences in films, dramas, and reality shows.
“He may not sell his own family, but he’s more than happy to sell everyone else’s,” Rajab remarked, taking a jab at Mustafa’s role as the host of Jeeto Pakistan, a popular game show where families participate in over-the-top stunts.
Rajab’s comments illuminate a larger debate in Pakistan’s entertainment industry. While traditional actors often dismiss social media influencers, his response highlights the shifting nature of digital entertainment and how the lines between different types of content monetization are becoming increasingly blurred.
Support for Hira Mani and Criticism of Media Campaigns
Despite his ongoing conflicts, Rajab Butt also had good things to say about people in the industry. He specifically praised actress Hira Mani, calling her highly professional and supportive during their recent music video collaboration.
“She was incredibly humble and easy to work with,” Rajab shared, highlighting her positive attitude in contrast to those who, in his opinion, unfairly criticize content creators like him.
At the same time, Butt spoke out about what he believes is a targeted campaign against him in mainstream media. He claimed that platforms like TikTok frequently spread misleading stories about him, adding to the public scrutiny he faces.
The Bigger Debate: Is Family Vlogging Ethical?
The clash between Rajab Butt and Fahad Mustafa has reignited the debate on family vlogging and its ethics. Many influencers share their personal lives online, featuring spouses, kids, and relatives. Critics see this as exploiting relationships for views and money, while supporters argue it builds community and relatability.
In Pakistan, family vlogging is growing fast, and YouTubers are getting millions of views. But people worry about privacy, permission, and how it might affect children in the future.
Fahad Mustafa dismisses family vlogging, valuing traditional TV and acting over digital content. In contrast, Rajab Butt defends it, highlighting the rising power of social media stars in reshaping entertainment.
Final Thoughts
Rajab Butt’s bold response to Fahad Mustafa’s remarks sparks a heated debate between traditional media and digital influencers. With YouTubers and TikTokers rising in power, Pakistan’s entertainment industry is witnessing a major shift.
Family vlogging remains a hot topic. Some see it as exploitation, others as creative storytelling. But one thing is clear: it’s here to stay. This clash between old-school celebrities and new-age digital stars isn’t over, it’s just getting started!
