Last updated: October 2026

From Viral Wedding to Viral Divorce — The Complete Story

What happens when a YouTuber’s lavish wedding gift—a lion cub—lands him in jail, and his marriage unravels in front of millions? For Rajab Butt, Pakistan’s most polarizing digital creator, the past two years have been a whirlwind of viral celebrations, shocking scandals, and a public divorce that has captivated the nation.

Rajab Butt, who boasts over 9 million YouTube subscribers, went from family-friendly vlogger to courtroom regular, facing allegations of blasphemy, sexual assault, and a divorce he has publicly declared final. At the center of it all is his ex-wife, Eman Fatima, who received a divorce notice in March 2026 and has since been locked in a public legal battle with Butt — including fresh defamation notices sent by him as recently as September 2026, according to Dialogue Pakistan and The Current PK.

Quick Facts

The Rajab-Eman Relationship: A Complete Timeline

2024: The Wedding of the Year

Rajab Butt and Eman Fatima tied the knot in 2024 in a wedding that quickly became a national talking point. The multi-day celebrations featured cash showers where guests threw dollars, luxury gold-plated iPhones as gifts, and one particularly unusual wedding present that would later make headlines for all the wrong reasons—a lion cub.

The extravagant wedding was widely covered by media and cemented Rajab’s status as a creator who lived large.

2025: Trouble in Paradise

Within the first year of their marriage, reports of marital issues began surfacing. The public nature of Rajab’s content, combined with mounting legal troubles, put immense strain on the relationship. His arrest over the lion cub possession and the growing number of FIRs against him added fuel to the fire.

In September 2025, the couple welcomed their son, Kivan Sultan — though, according to The Express Tribune, Rajab later claimed he had only met his son once or twice after the birth.

2026: Divorce Announcement and Public Denials

In March 2026, Rajab Butt publicly announced that the marriage was over. Appearing on Rehan Tariq’s podcast, he said he was “done with this marriage” and refused to continue what he called a relationship based on hypocrisy, according to HamariWeb. Eman responded on Instagram around March 7–8, 2026, sharing images of the divorce papers with their infant son’s hand placed on them.

The story took a twist in July 2026, when Eman’s brother, Aoun Sheikh, claimed that “both families resolved their differences, and the decision to reconcile was taken on the advice of their mother” for the sake of the couple’s young son, according to Aaj News and 24NewsHD.

Rajab immediately shut down these claims. During a TikTok Live session on July 21, 2026, he declared the divorce final: “Divorce is divorce, it is not a joke,” adding that he would continue to fulfil his responsibilities toward his son, Kivan. “What is over should remain over,” he said, per 24NewsHD.

The dispute escalated again in September 2026, when Rajab sent another defamation notice to his ex-wife, accusing her of defaming him through social media posts, reels, and videos. Eman’s lawyer confirmed the notice had been received, said a formal response had been submitted, and pointed out that the notice carried no supporting evidence — while alleging the legal action was intended to harass his client, according to Dialogue Pakistan and The Current PK.

There were brief family moments too: in July 2026, Eman and Kivan sent Rajab a “Get Well Soon” card while he was recovering from illness. And in September 2026, Rajab hosted a lavish first birthday celebration for Kivan in Lahore, per DailyInfotainment.

The “Bewakuf Bachi” Voice Note — What Rajab’s Mother Really Said

Perhaps the most viral moment in this saga came in March 2026, when an audio clip from Rajab Butt’s mother leaked online. In the emotional voice note, Rajab’s mother addressed her daughter-in-law, Eman, in a tone that stunned listeners.

She referred to Eman as a “bewakuf bachi” (foolish girl) for allegedly harming herself and the household. However, the note was not entirely critical. The mother also urged forgiveness, stating, “I am ready to forgive everything. If tensions arise, I will support you. The marriage and the child come first. Please reconcile instead of separating.”

The voice note laid bare the family’s internal struggle, showing a mother caught between her son and the mother of her grandchild.

The Zara Malik Cheating Allegations Explained

Amid the divorce drama, allegations of infidelity involving TikToker Zara Malik emerged. Leaked videos, audio clips, and sightings suggested a secret relationship between Rajab and Zara while he was still married to Eman—who was pregnant at the time.

When confronted, Rajab reportedly dismissed the scandal as being part of his “past”. According to HamariWeb, he admitted past infidelity in interviews while maintaining that Eman had forgiven him earlier.

Rajab later claimed the leaked videos and audio were AI-generated, and, according to Daily Pakistan, he also blamed a hacking incident for the leaked private clips. Many remain skeptical, and the authenticity of the material was never conclusively established.

Rajab Butt’s Growing Legal Troubles

While his personal life imploded, Rajab Butt faced an increasing number of legal battles that kept his name in the headlines.

Sexual Assault Case (August 18 Hearing)

On August 18, 2026, a Lahore sessions court was scheduled to indict Rajab Butt and four other suspects in a sexual assault case filed by a social media influencer. The complaint, filed in 2025, alleges sexual assault and blackmail. The accused have denied the allegations and obtained pre-arrest bail.

However, the indictment did not go ahead. According to UrduPoint and Dialogue Pakistan, the court deferred the framing of charges to August 29, as the counsel for one of the accused failed to appear. On August 29, the indictment was deferred once again — this time to September 3 — after defence lawyers asked for more time, per The Nation and UrduPoint. The case remains pending.

Cafe Assault Case (July 2026)

In a separate incident, police in Lahore’s Nawab Town registered an FIR against Butt on July 25, 2026, after a woman alleged that he and his associates attacked her and her friends. Notably, Dawn reported that the July cafe case was registered on the complaint of the same woman who had accused Butt of sexual assault in 2025 — linking the two cases.

Blasphemy Case and “295” Perfume

Rajab Butt was booked under Section 295-A for allegedly offending religious sentiments. The case stemmed from a December 2024 video where he was seen offering prayers while music played in the background. He later launched a perfume named “295”, which many saw as a mockery of Pakistan’s blasphemy laws. After public outrage, Butt issued a three-part video apology.

Following the backlash, Butt announced the discontinuation of the “295” perfume, according to The Current PK. But the legal fallout continued: in May 2026, The News International reported that a Karachi sessions court revoked his interim pre-arrest bail in a case pertaining to hurting religious feelings after he failed to appear before the court.

Gambling Promotion Case

In September 2025, the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) booked Rajab Butt for allegedly promoting gambling and betting applications on his social media pages, including Binomo, 1xBet, Bet365, and B9 Game, according to The Current PK. On May 20, 2026, a Lahore sessions court confirmed his interim bail in the case, per The Nation.

UK Visa Cancellation

Rajab Butt’s attempt to relocate to the United Kingdom was thwarted when the UK Home Department cancelled his visa after discovering he had failed to disclose pending cases in Pakistan. He later secured an order from the Islamabad High Court to be removed from the Passport Control List, a ruling reported by The News International in May 2026.

Net Worth: The Rs1 Billion Claim

Despite his legal troubles, Rajab Butt made headlines in August 2026 by claiming his net worth had exceeded Rs1 billion (100 crore rupees). During a podcast, he stated that he had “officially crossed the billion-rupee mark last year” and attributed his success to 12 years of consistent hard work.

However, this claim has not been independently verified by reliable sources, and many remain skeptical given the lack of public financial records. Independent estimates are far lower — HamariWeb’s profile, for instance, places his net worth in the range of $1 million to $2 million.

Public Perception: From Loved YouTuber to Most Hated?

Fan sentiment has shifted dramatically. Once admired for his family-oriented vlogs and humorous content, Rajab Butt is now widely criticized for perceived hypocrisy.

The controversies kept coming into late 2026. In September 2026, Butt issued a public apology after an insensitive joke made during a TikTok Live session with fellow creator Zaid Ali T, according to DailyInfotainment.
