"He can also take it back from you, so please respect it.”
Renowned social media personality Rajab Butt is facing backlash following the extravagant display of wealth during his wedding festivities.
The series of grand events, which have been publicised and widely shared on social media, have ignited a fierce debate.
Rajab Butt’s wedding, marked by multiple high-profile functions, has been under the spotlight since the announcement in late 2024.
The festivities reached a peak during the musical night, where guests were seen tossing large sums of money.
This ostentatious display has not only gone viral but also sparked criticism for its insensitivity.
This is amid Pakistan’s current grappling with economic instability and widespread poverty.
During the Dholki night, another grand event organised by Rajab’s friends, tensions surfaced when his sister demanded an exorbitant sum of Rs. 50 million.
However, Rajab settled the matter by giving her Rs. 5 lakh, still a huge amount for the average Pakistani.
Social media users and fans have expressed their disappointment, accusing Rajab and his family of flaunting their wealth irresponsibly.
One user remarked: “If God has given you this money, He can also take it back from you, so please respect it.”
The backlash intensified with the release of Rajab Butt’s latest vlog, where fans questioned the motive behind organising such events.
The casual distribution and throwing of money during these events have been particularly frowned upon.
Rajab Butt’s wedding also attracted numerous Pakistani social media personalities.
Prominent figures like Ducky Bhai, Nadeem Nani, Muneeb Khan, Umar Butt, Iqra Kanwal, Kanwal Aftab, and Zulqarnain Sikandar were in attendance.
The presence of these influencers has further amplified the visibility of the events, making the criticism even more widespread.
The latest event, the Baraat, held on the night of December 12, 2024, showcased Rajab’s continued penchant for grandeur.
Rajab opted for an elegant off-white sherwani, while his bride, Emaan, dazzled in a maroon bridal dress adorned with intricate embroidery.
The Baraat video again showed guests nonchalantly throwing money from the sunroof of his car.
Rajab Butt appeared on Ahmed Ali Butt’s podcast in November 2024, where he spoke candidly about his life, work, and income.
During the conversation, Rajab revealed that he earns between 3.5 million to 4 million rupees every month through just TikTok Live.
He disclosed that he donates a large sum of his earnings to the needy, something which netizens also labelled as “showing off”.
