  • Rohail Hyatt continues to defend stance on ‘rich can be harder than poor’

    Music Producer Rohail Hyatt shared a video on his Twitter account, continuing to defend his stance that being rich can be harder than being poor.

    In the video, a beggar can be seen saying that he is happy because he has no stress or fear. He says, “Although the rich take pills, they can’t sleep peacefully at night because of the constant fear of being robbed at any time.”

    Despite Hyatt’s continued defence of his opinion, Twitter criticised the music producer. Some of them even asked him to give them all of his money.

    Previously, Hyatt while replying to a question on Twitter, said, “I can go on and on but I hope you get the drift. I’m not saying being poor isn’t hard, but being rich can be harder at times. Totally depends on the mindset of the person experiencing that state.”

    His tweet made headlines and generated an online debate.

    This is not the first time that Hyatt has faced criticism. Earlier, in April, he defended Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan’s rape apology and got into a heated debate with singer-turned-politician Jawad Ahmad.

  • Jawad Ahmad vs Rohail Hyatt: Here’s what happened

    After Prime Minister Imran Khan made some unwarranted comments on rape and the cited vulgarity as the reason behind rising rape cases, Rohail Hyatt stepped in to defend him, saying that the premier’s words had been taken out of context. The musician received a lot of flak for his comments. Among those who criticised him is Jawad Ahmad, who questioned Rohail’s logic behind the tweet.

    “Why are you talking stupid?” wrote the singer-turned-politician in response to Hyatt’s tweet. “Will you tell us which dresses are modest and which are not?”

    “Will you get into your child’s wardrobe and point out which dress once worn would keep her safe in the society?” questioned Ahmad.

    “What if a dress you choose is still disapproved by majority?” he asked further.

    Jawad also used the hashtag #DontJustifyRape to elaborate his stance.

    Replying to Jawad’s tweet, Rohail said: “Because I am stupid. Since you’re wise, you can say wise things.”

    “See there’s balance in the universe. Something to be appreciated perhaps?” he added.

    While one would have thought that the debate ended there, but that was, in fact, just the start. Check out their complete exchange below:

    Later, Hyatt added a humorous twist to the debate and said that Ahmad won the match.

    He also said that he “loves Jawad”.

    Meanwhile, Hyatt also shared why he supports PM Khan.
