Lahore – Popular social media figure and businessman Rajab Butt has once again drawn criticism from the public after a video of his niece’s extravagant aqeeqah ceremony went viral on social platforms.
The event, marked by a display of luxury and opulence, featured grand decor, expensive gifts, and high-profile arrangements. Social media users reacted strongly, with many accusing Butt of promoting a culture of unnecessary extravagance, especially during a time when many families across the country are struggling with inflation and economic challenges.
While supporters praised the event as a private family celebration and a symbol of success, critics called it a tone-deaf exhibition of wealth. Some also raised concerns about setting unrealistic social standards, particularly when such events are shared publicly.
This is not the first time Rajab Butt has been in the spotlight for his lifestyle choices. The influencer has previously faced similar backlash for showcasing high-end cars, branded fashion, and luxurious get-togethers on his digital platforms.
Despite the criticism, Butt has not responded publicly to the latest controversy. The video continues to circulate widely online, sparking debate over the social responsibilities of public figures and influencers.
