While Rajab celebrated the milestone from abroad, a video from the hospital has stirred online criticism.
Birth of Rajab Butt’s son
Emaan Rajab delivered a healthy baby boy yesterday in Lahore. The news brought immense joy to the Butt family, with Rajab’s sister Ghazal celebrating her new role as phuppo and his mother gifting chocolates and presents to her daughter-in-law.

In his vlog, Rajab expressed gratitude: "Alhamdulillah, it’s a great feeling. My wife and son are perfectly fine and healthy, what else can I pray for? I have seen the junior Butt, and he is genuinely pink and beautiful. I can’t wait to hold him."
The YouTuber reflected on the bittersweet reality of not being present in Pakistan due to legal cases and personal scandals. He added that his son’s birth would “go down in history” as a moment when a famous Pakistani YouTuber became a father but could not immediately meet his child.
Rajab also announced he had already chosen his son’s name and promised to host a grand celebration once he returns to Lahore.
Hospital video sparks criticism
A video circulating on social media showed Rajab’s mother presenting gifts to Emaan, who was seen resting in her hospital bed. Many fans believed the clip was filmed right after she delivered the baby.
While some admired the family’s joy, others criticized the move, saying such intimate moments should not be recorded for content.
One fan commented, “People become parents to kids, but they have become parents to content.” Another wrote, “Please don’t film Eman at a time when she is vulnerable and in the hospital.”
Another wrote, “What does the video mean? Should we wait for the delivery vlog as well?” One more commented, “His mother is the most cunning woman; she is like a film.” Another fan added, “The video should not be stopped at any cost.”
However, not all reactions were negative, with some insisting the video should remain online, sparking heated debate among followers.
Celebrations in UK
Despite being away from his family, Rajab celebrated the arrival of his son with fans and friends in the UK. Videos showed him dancing to dhol beats, marking the joyous occasion.
The birth follows Emaan’s recent baby shower, which came after a rough patch in the couple’s relationship. For fans, the news of their first child has been a heartwarming turn in Rajab Butt’s often controversial journey.
