A YouTuber is facing legal action after a Canadian university accused him of repeatedly disrupting lectures while filming prank videos.
According to Dexerto, Ontario Tech University has filed a lawsuit against YouTuber Fique Ayub over videos allegedly recorded on campus without authorization. The lawsuit claims Ayub entered lecture halls and interrupted classes with content on his YouTube channel.
One incident reportedly took place in October 2024. Court documents allege Ayub disrupted a lecture while speaking in what the university described as a stereotypical Indian accent, asking questions, cooking curry, and throwing the food at students.
University Claims Escalation
Initially, the university reportedly chose not to pursue legal action, concerned that doing so would encourage further prank content. However, officials say Ayub returned in October 2025 and interrupted another lecture, announcing that he would be teaching his own class.
The lawsuit alleges that tensions between Ayub and students increased during the incident and that the confrontation nearly turned violent. The university is seeking $50,000 in punitive damages as well as income allegedly generated from the prank videos. Officials argue that Ayub profited from content filmed while trespassing on campus property.
Court Orders and Response
Judge Susan Healey issued an injunction in November barring Ayub from entering the campus. The court also ordered him to pay $44,000. In response, Ayub denied the allegations.
He stated that the videos are exaggerated and heavily edited for satire and comedy.
“All content posted on fiqueayub is greatly exaggerated, dramatized, heavily edited, is not a true representation of real-world events, and is meant to be satirical and/or comical,” he said.
Ayub also claims the channel is operated by a friend in Pakistan and is not used for profit. He further stated that the university is not entitled to any proceeds from the content.
