In a recent social media post, renowned Qawwal and singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan addressed rumors of his alleged arrest in Dubai, firmly stating that the reports are false. In a video message, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan clarified his purpose for being in Dubai, saying, I have come to Dubai to record my songs, and our music is performing exceptionally well.
He urged his fans not to pay attention to baseless rumors, reassuring them that the speculations have no truth. There is nothing as the adversaries are suggesting. He said I would return soon to entertain you with super hit songs In Sha Allah.
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan appealed to his global fan base to support artists and not to waste time on negative rumors. He emphasized the importance of encouragement for performers in the industry. Supporting Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s statements, music director Farooq Rao, who collaborated with the singer, dismissed the arrest claims.

He further explained the situation, stating that questions were asked and requests made at the airport, and such procedures are normal for anyone. He described the incident as routine airport checking and questioning, insisting that no arrest had occurred and that he was continuing his work as planned.
Various local media outlets had previously reported that Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s former manager, Salman Ahmed, was arrested at Dubai Airport following a defamation complaint. According to these reports, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan had dismissed Salman Ahmed after a dispute some time ago. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s clear communication aims to end the unfounded rumors and reassure his fans of his ongoing musical projects and well-being.
