The ongoing feud between singers AP Dhillon and Diljit Dosanjh has been grabbing attention lately.

Although he didn’t directly name Diljit, Dhillon appeared to subtly criticise the singer, implying that it was unfair to fans.

AP Dhillon talks about 'sold-out' concerts

Speaking on Ranveer Allahbadia’s podcast, AP Dhillon said, “India mein abhi crisis aa jayega agar isi hisab se chalta raha (There'll come a crisis in India if things go on like this). Artists are being unfair with their own fans ki 15 seconds mein sell out ho gaye shows. Kuchh bhi sell out nahi hua hai (that shows sold out within 15 seconds. Nothing is sold out). It's all a way of marketing. Promoters ko ticket de dete hain. Their fans, ab unko wait karna padta hai, aur higher price mein ticket khareedna padta hai (They sell tickets to promoters. The fans have to wait and buy tickets at higher prices)."

“At some point, humein bhi yehi laga (we also thought), should we play this game? But I'm like no, we can't go to bed knowing that jinhone show dekhne aana tha, humne unke sath aise kiya (those who wanted to attend the show, we did this to them). You name it, koi bhi show ho raha hai jo sold out hai, mujhe batao, 2,000 tickets chahiye, kal hi dilwa dunga. Aaj hi dilwa dunga. Log music ko abhi game ki tarah khel rahe hain. So usi mein mazza jo hai kharab ho gaya (Any show which is sold out, ask me if you need 2,000 tickets, I'll get them for you tomorrow, or even today. People are playing music like a game. That's sucked the joy out of it),” he added.

Dhillon mentioned that people will soon realise what's going on, calling it a “dirty game.” AP emphasised that artists aren't bigger than their fans, who deserve the chance to buy tickets at fair prices. While he didn’t call out any specific artist, he suggested that those at a higher stature should avoid such tactics, as they don't benefit them in the long run.

Diljit Dosanjh vs AP Dhillon

Diljit Dosanjh’s Dil-Luminati Tour sold out within seconds, with the singer attributing the fan frenzy to years of hard work. During a concert in Chandigarh, AP Dhillon addressed Diljit's shoutout, claiming he was blocked on Instagram. Diljit quickly clarified on Instagram, stating, “I never blocked you. Mere pange sarkaaran naal ho sakde aa, kalaakaran naal nahi (My issues could be with governments, not with artists).”  Dhillon responded with a video showing the block status.
