    Here is how many subscribers Ducky Bhai lost after Sham Idrees’ claims

    Popular Pakistani YouTuber Ducky Bhai is in trouble after Sham Idrees made some shocking statements about him, causing Ducky Bhai to lose subscribers in a short span, and leaving fans confused about what’s really going on.

    According to social counts, Ducky Bhai has lost around 290,000 subscribers in the last three weeks.

    Sham Idrees, another well-known YouTuber, recently shared surprising details about his past with Ducky Bhai. Some people believe Sham, while others think he’s just creating drama. The situation has divided fans, with social media filled with arguments about who is right.

    Sham has accused Ducky Bhai of harassment and unethical behavior, claiming that their long-standing feud led to serious personal attacks. He revealed that during their dispute, his wife, Froggy, became a target of online abuse, and false accusations against his father caused immense emotional distress to his family. While Sham initially forgave Ducky and moved on, he now alleges that Ducky has resumed harmful behavior, this time targeting smaller YouTubers and less influential creators.

    Fans are reacting strongly. Some are unsubscribing from Ducky Bhai’s channel, while others continue to support him, demanding solid proof.

    With his subscriber count dropping, Ducky Bhai must find a way to regain his audience’s trust. Will he respond to Sham Idrees’ claims, or will he remain silent and wait for the drama to die down? Fans are eagerly watching to see what happens next.

    Sham Idrees and Ducky Bhai controversy

    Sham Idrees has broken his silence on his long-standing feud with Ducky Bhai, making serious allegations and sharing evidence against the fellow YouTuber.

    The rivalry, which began seven years ago after Ducky criticised Sham’s daily vlogs and personal life, has now taken a dramatic turn.

    Sham opened up about the harassment he endured during their clash.

    In a recent video, Sham Idrees said, “At the height of our dispute, my wife (Froggy) became a target of online abuse.”

    He also shared how false accusations against his father deeply affected his family.

    “It caused immense distress, but I chose to forgive Ducky and move forward,” Sham stated.

    Despite their reconciliation, he now claims that Ducky Bhai has resumed harmful behaviour, this time targeting lesser-known YouTubers and less influential creators.

    In his video, Sham included testimonials from individuals alleging that Ducky has threatened them. These accusations range from harming families to sabotaging work and even raiding personal property.

    One of the most outspoken critics is fellow creator Badlabrother, who accused Ducky of using his platform to manipulate and intimidate others.

    Sham urged Ducky Bhai to rethink his actions and take responsibility.

    “It’s time for him to stop. He needs to consider the impact of his actions on smaller creators and the harm caused to their personal lives,” Sham stated.

    The YouTuber emphasised that he holds no ill will but believes Ducky’s toxic behaviour must be addressed and corrected publicly.
