News Mania Desk/Agnibeena Ghosh/23rd July 2024

Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has set the record straight following swirling rumors that he was arrested at Dubai airport. Taking to Instagram to dispel the speculations, Rahat assured his fans that the reports of his arrest are false and urged them to disregard the misinformation circulating online.

In a reassuring video message, Rahat addressed the rumors directly, explaining, “I have come to Dubai to record my songs. All the work on my songs is going great. Everything is fine here.” His calm demeanor and confident tone aimed to reassure his supporters that there was no truth to the arrest claims.

Rahat further clarified, “I am just requesting my fans not to trust any rumors which are emerging. Aisa kuch nahi hai. I am working on several songs, and will be back with a superhit song soon which will take over the world. There is wrong news and rumors about me being spread, I am requesting each one of you not to trust that.” His plea was a direct appeal to his fans to focus on his music rather than the unfounded gossip.

The rumors initially claimed that Rahat had been detained at Dubai airport due to complaints filed by his former manager, Salman Ahmed. Reports suggested that Rahat was taken to Burj Dubai police station and that the arrest was related to a defamation complaint from Ahmed. The reports indicated that the detainment was connected to ongoing disputes between Rahat and Ahmed, following their professional split and subsequent legal actions.

Rahat’s statement came as a response to these rumors, which had created a stir among his fans and media alike. The singer’s clear and calm message was intended to put an end to the speculation and reaffirm his commitment to his music career. He also emphasized the importance of not letting such rumors affect his fan base. “Don’t waste your time on such rumors being spread by my enemies. Keep your trust in me. You are my power. My audience and my fans are my power. I love you all,” Rahat added in his message.

This incident is not the first time Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has faced controversy. Earlier this year, a video surfaced showing the singer allegedly involved in a heated altercation with his protege, Naveed Hasnain. The footage depicted Rahat in a confrontation, reportedly demanding, “Where is my bottle?” Rahat later addressed the incident through Instagram, calling it an “internal matter” and clarifying that it was not as serious as it appeared.

Despite these challenges, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan continues to focus on his music, with plans to release new songs that he hopes will resonate with his global audience. His dedication to his craft and his assurance to his fans underscore his commitment to his career and his desire to move past the negative rumors.

As Rahat prepares to return with new music, his fans can look forward to his upcoming projects, while the singer remains determined to leave behind the recent controversies.
