At a time when many celebrities are turning to social media managers, the once exciting proximity between fans and industry bigwigs might be the end of an era. Throw in unpredictable takeovers of social media platforms by eccentric billionaires and the internet is an utter pandemonium.<\/p>\n

Unless you belong to the Pakistani side of this global bedlam where a stylised X might have replaced the blue bird but the app is yet to change. Here\u2019s a rundown on the times Pakistani celebrities treated fans with pure, unhinged content on X, formerly Twitter – musicians edition.<\/p>\n

Boomers and gen X might have joined \u201cX\u201d for political microblogs but thanks to millennials and zoomers, the \u2018bird app\u2019 turned into a site of \u2018gham hours\u2019 and subtweets. And what\u2019s a better choice for slam dunks than critics with questionable political takes. Joona <\/em>singer Hasan Raheem had one comeback for his detractors: \u201cI pay taxes and that too more than your papa<\/em>, I\u2019ll say whatever I think is right.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Tax daita hun bhai wo bhi tumarey papa say ziada, jo sai lagey ga bolun ga mai<\/p>\n

Or the time the Peechay Hutt<\/em> star won the internet with his profound wisdom: \u201cAbay inkay baap ka mulk thori hai\u201d<\/em> (The country does not belong to their father). But let\u2019s not forget the day, Hasan was a little too online (and too real) with his relatable take on love. The singer\u2019s explanation? \u201cSorry, meri dard ki goliyon ka asar utar raha hai\u201d<\/em> (Sorry, my painkillers\u2019 effect is subsiding).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Remember back when you could get away with drawing the most horrendous fan art? Thank the celebs who never opened DMs from strangers and commoners. However, hip hop duet Young Stunners\u2019 Talha Anjum will not only check your post but will also urge you to \u2018take it down\u2019 on Twitter\u2019s behalf – most respectfully.<\/p>\n

\n

Twitter would appreciate if you\u2019d take it down<\/p>\n

Unless it\u2019s past midnight in 2021 and Talha is going through one of those nights<\/em>. \u201cOne of those days when I want to punch everyone in the f****** face.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steadily climbing to the top ranks of our playlists, you may follow Annural Khalid for music posts but even the Cham Cham<\/em> singer can\u2019t resist chiming in on Pakistan\u2019s many political shenanigans. \u201cAnd these protocol cars I don\u2019t understand at all. Isn\u2019t that literally begging for attention? Move in normal cars like normal people ffs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Aur ye protocol wali gaariyon ki mujhe bilkul samajh nae aati. Isn\u2019t that literally begging for attention?!!!?? Move in normal cars like normal people ffs.<\/p>\n

When the singer isn\u2019t hitting us with soul-shattering records, she\u2019s often channeling that relatable angst in her X posts and wants everyone to remember that being nice does not mean she can\u2019t discern \u201cyour bullsh*t.\u201d Interject that sentiment with lots of crying emojis.<\/p>\n

After much anticipation and wait, new wave pop queen Natasha Noorani dropped her album Ronaq <\/em>last year with a dynamic commentary on life but once a couple of years ago, the Choro <\/em>singer jumped on a Twitter trend to give us a banger both funny and hard-hitting. \u201cIt’s always \u2018I love you\u2019 and never \u2018mukhra tera chaunsa amb, lagti tu saanu bamb.\u2019<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

It’s always “I love you” and never “mukhra tera chaunsa amb, lagti tu saanu bamb”<\/p>\n

Politics and love are almost always trending on X\/Twitter unless there\u2019s a cricket game in town starring Pakistan and you can count on Asim Azhar to start posting the night before. Of course, like many fans of the Pakistani cricket team, emotions run high (with higher odds of disappointment).\u00a0<\/p>\n

As per the Sohneya singer, the fault might be in the stars. \u201cNihayat hi koi toxic relationship hai Pakistan cricket aur qudrat ke nizam ka\u201d<\/em> (There\u2019s a very toxic relationship between Pakistan cricket and the order of universe).<\/p>\n
