Rajab Butt is facing calls for a ban after joking about child abuse on TikTok Live.
Pakistan faces an alarming incidence of child abuse, and recent statistics show that 9 children are abused every day, more than half of whom are reported to be sexually abused. In such dire circumstances, a Pakistani YouTuber with over 9 million followers dared to make a disturbing joke about child sexual exploitation during TikTok Live.
Rajab Butt made a controversial comment during a live stream with Zayed Ali, and it went viral for all the wrong reasons, with outraged users slamming the social media star for crossing the line by turning sexual abuse of a child into a punchline.

The clip shows Rajab commenting on Zayed Ali’s comments before making the offensive comparison. The comment quickly circulated online, prompting widespread condemnation and calls for accountability.
The backlash intensified after several activists reposted the clip and questioned how child sexual abuse could be used as a form of comedy. The account argued that jokes about rape and child abuse could trivialize the trauma of survivors and gradually desensitize audiences to serious crimes.
It also drew the ire of unfiltered TikTok Lives, where creators can use increasingly provocative language to chase ideas, engagement and digital impact.
With an immense reach of millions, users questioned whether influencers with millions of followers should be held to a higher standard when discussing sensitive issues related to children.
Social media users began tagging government officials, police departments and political figures demanding action against Butt. Some called for his arrest, while others demanded that his channels and content be banned.
One user called his comments alarming, saying the bits are a danger to children. Others directed their ire at Bit’s former defenders, questioning how anyone could justify such language.
Many users called the incident a testament to Butt’s mentality and upbringing, while others condemned the comment as simply an extreme display of ignorance.
Some even called for his arrest, while several users directly tagged Punjab officials and police officials, calling for immediate intervention.
