Many took to the social media platform believing the Baazi songstress emulated American superstar Ariana Grande, including her style and signature moves.
At the glamourous opening ceremony of PSL 2020, Baig was seen on stage sporting Ari's famous high ponytail as well as a shimmery silver ensemble.
"Aima Baig more like Pakistani Ariana Grande," one user wrote. "Aima Baig seems a little too inspired by Ariana Grande," another commented.

A user also commented, "It's sad to see some Pakistani artists lacking originality in style, Aima, we get Ari inspires you but girl..."
It’s sad to see that Paki artists lack originality in style… Aima, we get that Ari inspires you but girl that dress and hairstyle looked horrendous. Lets not forget the poor stage presence. #AimaBaig

Meanwhile, other Twitter users pointed out that Baig shouldn't be compared with the 7 Rings hitmaker because she 'doesn't promote skin whitening products.'
"Ariana Grande doesn't promote skin whitening products and the gora complex, let's not disgrace her by making comparisons with Aima Baig," a status pointed out in reply to the trending comments.
Another said, "Talent or no talent, I don't have respect for Aima Baig because she endorses skin whitening products and has a gora complex."

Some on Twitter didn't miss a beat, even noticing the singer forgot the lyrics to her own song .

However, many were also quick to rush to Baig's defence, admiring her PSL look and vocal talents.

"Aima is a better singer than Ariana Grande. If you know anything about music, you'd have known that her range is much higher and versatile than Ariana despite no professional training. Stop dissing your artists. This "Gora" complex is not gonna do any favour to you," one Twitter user asserted.

Others just thought the singer looked very glitzy.
