The video depicted what Nasra humorously referred to as the post-iftar activities of married Somali men.
Iftar, observed during Ramadan, is the evening meal when Muslims break their fast at sunset. It serves as the main meal for those fasting during the day.
While some of Nasra's audience enjoyed the video, others criticised it for allegedly going against the religious norms of the Somali community.
Certain X users argued that Nasra's portrayal in the video disrespected the Somali religion, leading to calls for her to lose respect.
"That’s not content Nasra you can produce proper content without demeaning your religion," one of her fans responded on Instagram.
"Nasra seems to be chasing YouTube money while trying to establish herself as a funny comedian. in her pursuit, she appears to be breaching the rules of her own religion. If she can't respect her own religious beliefs, how can she expect others to respect her?" an X user commented.
