Pakistani social media users have criticised singer Aima Baig following her recent performance at the 'Pakistan and Indonesia Music Night' during the Jeddah Season in Saudi Arabia. The backlash came shortly after she shared pictures of her Umrah pilgrimage. The event featured several artists, including Bilal Saeed, TikTok star Rabeeca Khan, actor Kashif Khan, Indonesian singer Lady Rara, and the Sonu Dance Group.
Thousands of attendees celebrated Pakistani and Indonesian music. Before the event, Baig's Instagram announcement about travelling abroad for work sparked rumours that she was quitting the music industry. However, she clarified that her trip was work-related.
During her performance in Jeddah, Baig captivated the audience with popular songs like "Kaif-o-Suroor" and "Mast Malang." Social media users shared videos showcasing her engaging stage presence. However, some netizens were displeased with her participation in the music event following her Instagram stories about her recent Umrah pilgrimage.
The singer performed the minor pilgrimage during the same visit to Saudi Arabia, before her work-related activities. Screenshots of Baig's Instagram stories from Umrah circulated on social media, prompting mixed reactions. While some followers praised her for performing Umrah, others criticised her for participating in a musical performance during the same trip.
