As Pakistani YouTuber ‘Ducky Bhai‘ AKA Saad gets called out for exhibiting ‘fake patriotism’ while hurling threats at a girl online, one of his peers is distancing himself from Saad altogether. YouTube star Irfan Junejo says that he wants nothing to do with this drama.
As netizens go after Ducky Bhai for various reasons, Irfan Junejo decided to clarify where he stands. There seems to be an ideological clash here as Irfan Junejo says that he can’t stand inciting violence against women and transpeople, something that Saad did with his actions online.
“I cannot condone encouraging violence against women, promoting transphobia and homophobia among other problematic things, even though we have been friends in the past.”

The YouTube content creator stated that while he has been friends with Saad in the past he has nothing against the man personally. The two are cool with each other. Irfan just doesn’t want to be associated with Saad anymore.
“I hereby would like to dissociate myself from him. I wish him the best for his career and hope he realizes the implications his tweets and actions can have.

My respect for Irfan Junejo has grown even more now. The guy knows whats wrong, and how to call it out and disassociate himself from the people who are problematic.
