During our time in quarantine, Ali Sethi has kept most of us busy with the amazing live sessions he does on Instagram, however, people on Twitter have been criticising him on not being original enough to churn out songs of his own. One girl in particular, shared how she thinks Taher Shah is better than Ali Sethi for making original songs:
At least Taher Shah comes up with originals every time. Can we say the same about Ali Sethi?

'beta aap ka poora khandaan unoriginal'

And these tweets had the internet going bonkers, some agreed and some STRONGLY disagreed with her:
Tweet of the day, week, day, year and century! https://t.co/so9ZaLjNaH

Quarantine getting the best of us:

Some were crediting Ali’s success to his father:
Endorsed. Ali Sethi is over rated. Agar uska baap bigshot na hota tou kisi ney usko ghas bhi nahi daalni thee. Sorry if it offends anyone. https://t.co/k44kJ0ff0k

People thought it was about time someone said it:

Some thought the tweet was uncalled for:

Some wanted her to let it rest:

Some explained how there’s nothing wrong in doing covers:
There's nothing wrong with an artist covering art of other artists out of respect and inspiration. It's a form of tribute. Y'all need to educate yourself. https://t.co/C8k2Bi5NR2

And while people were fighting amongst themselves, Ali Sethi joined the narrative, with his poor choice of words:

People were wondering what the 6 originals were:
Ali bhai wo chhay originals songs kaun se hai’n ? Sun’nay nahi hai’n par pata tau chalay https://t.co/Rqy0SEaZ7w

And Ali Sethi actually mocked him on his profile picture:
https://twitter.com/alisethimusic/status/1249235350498742273?s=19
Looking at the way Ali Sethi responded, the internet was actually disappointed in him:
I bet those were as original as the slur you just used.

People were furious!
https://twitter.com/SaraETariq/status/1249339107014303746?s=19
People were accusing the Sethis of misogyny:

People were schooling him on the use of better words:

Shots were fired, khandan style of course:
https://twitter.com/intellectroll/status/1249186496780931072?s=19
Some though that people barely knowing any original songs says a lot about them:

Some were calling him insecure:
https://twitter.com/han3yy/status/1249287216628711425?s=19
People were asking him to grow thicker skin:
https://twitter.com/LahoriElite/status/1249182156213141504?s=19
Wow the guy truly lacks class and grace. If you wanna be a celebrity, grow a thicker skin https://t.co/djD9pM2WZS

This nation and its spot on sarcasm!

Even his loyal fans were disappointed!

Some wanted him to remember how he made a career off of covers:
https://twitter.com/michaelscottfc/status/1249226666104238081?s=19
There was a ton of shade!

Well…

Someone has a wild theory and we’re mind-blown!
Maybe this is why Taher Shah was born, to become a catalyst in Ali Sethi's exposè. Everything happens for a reason https://t.co/QBy20qdM32
