Entertainment Desk April 27, 2024

More moves, more problems, it seems, for such is the case with singer-songwriter Asim Azhar. The beloved singing sensation sent shockwaves through his factions of admirers with a surprising move on social media. As anticipation mounts for the release of his debut album, Azhar has taken the drastic step of deleting all his previous social media posts and unfollowing everyone on Instagram, leaving fans both bewildered and intrigued.

Consequently, Azhar's social media cleanse has raised eyebrows and prompted questions from his devoted fanbase. In response to inquiries about the sudden disappearance of his posts, the singer offered an explanation, revealing his intention to herald a new era in his musical journey. "This debut album marks a new journey in my life and career with you all," he explained to a perplexed fan. "I wanted to start fresh and new."

However, one Instagram user alleged that Azhar had completely "copied" Taylor Swift, as far as his social media game was concerned. "A hundred other artists have done this before her worldwide," responded Azhar. "But yes, I love her too," he added, taking the remark in stride. His crisp and clear response indicated his no-nonsense approach, but also showcased that the musical star does not shy away from admitting that he's a fan of global artists. 

Azhar's response offers insight into the complexities of navigating the ever-evolving landscape of social media in the music industry. While drawing inspiration from established icons like Swift is common practice, artists must strike a delicate balance between paying homage and carving out their own unique identity.
