Albabajwa: According to Twitter sources, Albab Khurram is a ‘model’ from Karachi who gained near to 7000 followers on his Instagram for his insanely aesthetic feed. His feed had pictures from various photoshoots and he had become popular among followers for his ‘unreal’ looks, with posts shared for a multiple of times. Along with his own personal Instagram, he also has a clothing line called ‘brignalss’ which featured custom made pieces by him.
The Reveal: As his pictures got more and more traction, people started to notice anomalies in the posts. This led to a Twitter user dissecting how ‘Albabajwa’ had photoshopped his face very perfectly onto pictures of other models. Furthermore, people in the thread also posted how his ‘original’ song is a plagiarized version of a Tik Tok video, and how his merch is also fraudulent.
So this Albabajwa guy edited the pictures of a model from USA and pretended to be him by putting his face in the pictures.
