Who is Mohammad Azir Nazir?
Mohammad Azar Nazir is a business owner, most famous for running viral convenience store Wakey Wines.
He appears in their viral videos, where he describes the store as "the best shop in Wakey".
In March 2023, the shop was raided by police, who were looking for class A drugs.
They were not able to find anything, with Nazir posting a video after the incident to show a document confirming the shop was free of anything illegal.
Nazir was previously sentenced to eight years in prison for dealing heroin and crack cocaine, but turned his life around following his release after four years in 2019.
In January 2022, he told his followers on TikTok: "In 2015, I was selling drugs, I was doing wrong... I made the biggest mistake of my life."
Where is Wakey Wines?
Wakefield in West Yorkshire is perhaps best known for being home to the Wakefield Trinity rugby league team.
The full name of the store is Wakefield Wines, with the nickname "Wakey" used because it is a popular nickname for the city.
Although the hype has died down, Wakey Wines still has a social media following of well over a million followers across accounts as of May 16, 2025.
What does Mohammad Azar Nazir do on TikTok?
Nazir shares videos of himself with customers, many of whom were seen buying Prime energy drink.

Prime is a creation by YouTube stars Logan Paul and KSI.
The demand for it has seen supermarkets sell out, leaving many fans disappointed.
During the videos, Nazir encourages the customers to introduce themselves to the camera, before asking where they have travelled from and why they have visited the store.
His cameraman, Abdul, is a worker at the shop, and Nazir speaks to him during the video, saying "Abdul come closer", before saying "Abdul go back".
Nazir was briefly banned from TikTok in January 2023 after complaints from what he described as "a well known influencer".

But the platform acknowledged his removal was a mistake and reinstated his account shortly afterwards.
What does Mohammad Azar Nazir sell?
Nazir came to prominence through his stock of Prime, which he was selling for inflated prices.
By asking prices of up to £100 per bottle, he got widespread attention on TikTok — but he sells other products as well.
Nazir has his own brand of hard candy, named WFD sweets, which have also appeared in his videos.
Boxing record
His upcoming opponent Mo Deen has a 0-1 boxing record, having previously been beaten by Vitaly at Misfits 13 in March 2024.

After two bouts that were called off, Mo's first fight was stopped by the ref, with the social media star seemingly avoiding facing up to his opponent.
Nazir is taking to the ring for the first time at Misfits 21, so he doesn't yet have a boxing record to speak of.

Babydoll Archi: Indian woman's identity stolen for erotic AI content in deepfake deception
It took just a few days for Indian Instagram sensation Babydoll Archi to double her following to 1.4 million, thanks to a couple of viral social media was a video that showed her in a red sari, dancing seductively to Dame Un Grr – a Romanian song. And a photo posted on the platform showed her posing with American adult film star Kendra everyone wanted to know about her - and the name Babydoll Archi trended in Google search and spawned countless memes and fan pages. But there was one issue about to emerge – there was no real woman behind the online Instagram account was fake, although the face it used had uncanny likeness to a real woman - a homemaker in Dibrugarh city in Assam, whom we'll call truth unravelled after her brother lodged a police complaint. Pratim Bora, Sanchi's ex-boyfriend, was police officer Sizal Agarwal who's heading the investigation told the BBC that Sanchi and Bora had a falling out and the AI likeness he created was to exact "pure revenge" on - a mechanical engineer and a self-taught artificial intelligence (AI) enthusiast - used private photos of Sanchi to create a fake profile, Ms Agarwal is in custody and has not made any statements yet. The BBC has reached out to his family and will update the article when they Archi was created in 2020 and the first uploads were made in May 2021. The initial photos were her real pictures that had been morphed, Ms Agarwal said."As time passed, Bora used tools such as ChatGPT and Dzine to create an AI version. He then populated the handle with deepfake photos and videos."The account started picking up likes from last year but it started gaining traction from April this year, she short two-paragraph complaint to the police submitted by Sanchi's family on the night of 11 July came with printouts of some photos and videos as Agarwal says it did not name anyone because they had no idea who could be behind it. Babydoll Archi was not an unfamiliar name for the police. Ms Agarwal says they had also seen media reports and comments speculating that she was AI generated, but there had been no suggestion that it was based on a real they received the complaint, police wrote to Instagram asking for the details of the account's creator."Once we received information from Instagram, we asked Sanchi if she knew any Pratim Bora. Once she confirmed, we traced his address in the neighbouring district of Tinsukia. We arrested him on the evening of 12 July."Ms Agarwal says the police have "seized his laptop, mobile phones and hard drives and his bank documents since he had monetised the account"."The account had 3,000 subscriptions on linktree and we believe he had earned 1m rupees from it. We believe he made 300,000 rupees in just five days before his arrest," she added. Ms Agarwal says Sanchi is "extremely distraught - but now she and her family are receiving counselling and they are doing better".There really is no way to prevent something like this from happening, "but had we acted earlier, we could have prevented it from gaining so much traction", Ms Agarwal said."But Sanchi had no idea because she has no social media presence. Her family too had been blocked out from this account. They became aware only once it went viral," she has not responded to the BBC queries on the case, but it generally does not allow posting of nudity or sexual content. And last month, CBS reported that it removed a number of ads promoting AI tools used to create sexually explicit deepfakes using images of real people. The Instagram account of Babydoll Archi, which had 282 posts, is no longer available to public - although social media is replete with her photos and videos and one Instagram account seems to have all of them. The BBC has asked Meta what they are planning to do about Bal, AI expert and lawyer, says what happened to Sanchi "is horrible but almost impossible to prevent".She can go to the court and seek the right to be forgotten, and a court can order the press reports that named her to be taken down but it's hard to scrub all the trace from the happened to Sanchi, she says, is what's always been happening to women, where their photos and videos are circulated as revenge."It's now a lot easier to do because of AI, but such incidents are still not as common as we expect - or they could be under-reported because of stigma or people being targeted may not even know about it as in the present case," Ms Bal says. And people watching it had no incentive to report it to the social media platform or cybercrime portal, she their complaint against Mr Bora, police have invoked sections of law that deal with sexual harassment, distribution of obscene material, defamation, forgery to harm reputation, cheating by personification and cybercrime. If found guilty, Mr Bora could get up to 10 years in case which has also led to outrage on social media in recent days has seen some seeking tougher laws to deal with such Bal believes there are enough laws to take care of such cases, but whether there's scope for new laws to deal with generative AI companies has to be looked at."But we also have to remember that deepfakes are not necessarily bad and laws have to be carefully crafted because they can be weaponised to chill free speech."Follow BBC News India on Instagram, YouTube, X and Facebook

Ozzy Osbourne's final Black Sabbath show just weeks ago
The legendary rocker passed away at the age of 76 'surrounded by love' it was announced by his family earlier tonight (July 22). He had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019. Appearing on a large black throne in Villa Park, Birmingham, he told thousands of heavy metal enthusiasts on July 5 that it was 'so good to be on this stage'. I have been a Black Sabbath fan almost my entire life. And when I say Black Sabbath I mean the band with Ozzy Osbourne in it. Everything else was business. They were just immense. A thundering voice and noise direct from the working class. — Danny Baker (@prodnose) July 22, 2025 Osbourne and his fellow original Black Sabbath members – Iommi, Butler and Ward – were the last to appear on stage as part of a star-studded line-up for the Back to the Beginning concert. Among the bands performing were Anthrax, Metallica and Guns N'Roses, and there were messages of thanks from other celebrities, including Jack Black, Ricky Gervais and Dolly Parton. In an emotional moment, Osbourne said: 'I don't know what to say, man, I've been laid up for like six years. You have no idea how I feel – thank you from the bottom of my heart.' Ozzy Osbourne's last social media post A post shared on Instagram just one day ago showed an empty corridor at Villa Park and a flier that remains following the show. Fans were quick to comment with their sadness this evening (July 22) following Ozzy's passing. What was Ozzy Osbourne's biggest hit? Ozzy's biggest hit is considered to be 'Crazy Train'. While it didn't top the Billboard Hot 100, it's noted as 'a classic of the heavy metal genre', released in 1980. Other notable hits and fan favourites include Mama, I'm Coming Home, No More Tears and a duet with his daughter Kelly Osbourne, on 'Changes' which topped the UK charts in 2003.

Passenger discovers mobile phone flight hack but people spot one major problem
A Tiktokker revealed 'old school' travel item can be your solution for a quick flight hack; which saves you from cramps but Tiktok viewers seem to have their own thoughts on the hack We've all been there - you're on a flight, you want to watch something on your phone, but there's nowhere to put it without either cramping your neck or holding it for hours. But one Tiktokker @Chlowfaraway has revealed a simple travel hack, which solves the issue. While the hack drew many views in, viewers were quick to point out a glaring issue. In the viral clip a passenger is seen slipping their printed boarding pass into the latch of the seat-back tray table. This creates a makeshift holder where you can rest your phone for hands-free viewing and the hack racked up over a half a million likes and plenty of praise for the awkward mid-air juggle. But while the idea was clever, many in the comments section weren't impressed and not because of the hack itself. Instead, people were surprised that the passenger even had a printed boarding pass to begin with. One viewer said: "Who prints their boarding passes? Jesus." Another chimed in: "Travel hack: you can get your ticket on your phone since like 10 years ago." But not everyone had this mindset and defended the old-school approach, with one saying: "I love the physical ticket! Y'all are so weird acting like it's so outdated bc it's just a different option lol." And some simply pointed out that flying in certain countries or on international trips often still requires a paper pass, whether we like it or not. Either way, the trick sparked debate about whether printed tickets are a thing of the past - but if you do still carry one, it looks like it can come in handy for more than just getting on the plane.
