Wednesday, January 7th, 2009
Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari is a daughter of Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto who was assassinated on December 27, 2007 in Pakistani town of Rawalpindi. One year after her mother’s assassination, Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari released a hip hop song to pay tribute to her mom. The song is titled “I Would Take the Pain Away” and is quickly becoming a hit on YouTube.
Sean “Diddy” Combs, who met Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari shortly before her mother was assassinated collaborated with her on the song. The video for “I Would Take the Pain Away” includes footage of Benazir Bhutto’s assassination, but is primarily focusing on her accomplishments as a high profile political figure and mother.
18 year old Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari who is a university student in Edinburgh is not looking to make career in hip hop. “I Would Take the Pain Away” is simply meant to be an anniversary song to commemmorate her mother’s death. Asif Ali Zardari, father of Bakhtawar Bhutto has been the president of Pakistan since last September.
