Fahad Mustafa is one of the biggest stars the industry has right now, he’s always managed to keep himself away from controversies and hosts one of the most coveted shows in the country, Jeeto Pakistan.
Fahad took to Twitter to tweet how he feels about the video app Tik Tok and requested parents to keep their children away from the app:
To All the parents out there plz keep your kids away from this tik tok bullshit its not healthy. Entire nation is busy doing nothing .#DoSomethingProductive

And while his tweet stemmed from a place of concern, people were bringing in Jeeto Pakistan as their counter argument:
Lol, like Jeeto Pakistan is giving this nation kids six packs. 🤣🤣

Some had their reservations:
Baat Badi Achi ki Hai Lekin Likhi Ghalt Bande Ne Hai…

It’s all about using and misusing the platform:
Hell, I’m not really into TikTok but at least it is creative, & Gen Z has been using it to discuss how to survive Hong Kong protests & educate on a variety of important topics. Better than using Instagram to show your meals or pretend to have a lifestyle that isn’t realistic https://t.co/H4at5DXPEu

Many argued how the app can actually be productive for some:
First of all it's NOT nothing. People are earning through it and is a big deal. Secondly, what people need to realize is not everything is for everyone. So if it's not for them don't waste time on it. But if they are well off with it, it's productive for them.

People were calling him out on the hypocrisy:

Some came ready with facts:
Tik Tok has 800 million monthly active users worldwide@LilNasX credits the success of “Old Town Road" to TikTok
The secret is in how you utilize an upcoming platform. Instagram was once nothing too. https://t.co/LHD5fXda1M— Sudrish Khan (@SudrishK) December 29, 2019

Some disagreed with proof!

Some were blaming the people rather than the app:
It's not the app, rather the shitty mentality of us as a nation who neglects legit content creators and fall for otherwise. I'd either have the app and watch villagers happily expressing themselves. #RightUsageMatters https://t.co/HGss8xdPPn

Some were calling it jealousy:
Professional jealousy? #TikTok https://t.co/Rz9ByL4wo8
