Pakistani pop star Aima Baig, known for hits like “Qalabaz Dil” and “Befikeriyan,” is once again making headlines — but this time, not for her vocals.
During a recent concert in Canada, Aima impressed the crowd with her chart-topping songs. However, controversy sparked when she performed a dance and lip-sync routine to “Jennie” — a song by the South Korean pop star. While the live audience seemed entertained, the internet had other opinions.
Backlash from Netizens
Social media users quickly turned the performance into a viral moment — and not in a flattering way. Online comments criticized her choreography, stage presence, and what many felt was an awkward attempt to copy K-pop style:
“She looks like a cockroach on the bathroom floor after Mortein.”
“Jennie from Daraz — no offense to Daraz.”
“Trying so hard to be Korean, it’s embarrassing.”
“Why is she always doing too much?”
Many felt the performance lacked originality and came off as overly forced instead of empowering or entertaining.
Not Her First Time in Hot Water
This isn’t the first time Aima Baig has drawn criticism online. Previously, she faced backlash for:
- Performing at a concert in Jeddah shortly after performing Umrah.
- A controversial jewelry ad that sparked debate over her styling.
- Filing a Rs 100 million defamation lawsuit after fake stories circulated online.
Despite repeated controversies, Aima Baig continues to be one of Pakistan’s most-streamed artists. Her supporters say she’s bold, experimental, and always true to herself — even if it means stirring up debate.
Like it or not, Aima knows how to keep the internet talking — and she doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon.
