Rapper Shubh On Waving Hoodie That Mocked Indira Gandhi Assassination: 'Lot Of Clothes Were Thrown At Me'
Canada-based rapper Shubh has once again landed into a controversy after he was seen flaunting a hoodie glorifying former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's assassins amid a gig in London.
New Delhi: Canada-based rapper Shubh, who was in the news for sharing a distorted map of India, has once again landed into a controversy after he was seen flaunting a hoodie glorifying former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's assassins amid a gig in London. The rapper has now come up with a clarification on the incident.
The rapper while performing on stage in one of his shows was handed over a hoodie by a fan which he flaunted to the audience.
Shubh took to the Instagram story and shared a statement writing: "No matter what I do, some people will find something to bring it against me. A lot of clothes, jewellery, and phones were thrown at me by the audience at my first show in London. "
"I was there to perform, not to see what got thrown at me and what is on it. The team has worked very hard for the last couple of months to perform for you all. STOP SPREADING HATE AND NEGATIVITY," he added.
Earlier on Tuesday, actress Kangana Ranaut also took to social media to criticise Shubh.
She wrote: "Celebrating the cowardly killing of an old woman by those who she appointed as her saviours. When you are trusted to protect but you take advantage of the trust and faith and use the same weapons to kill the ones were suppose to protect then it's a shameful act of cowardice not of bravery."
"One must be ashamed of such a cowardly attack on an elderly lady who was disarmed and unaware, a lady who was the chosen leader of a democracy, nothing to glorify here. Shame," she added.
Earlier in September, the 26-year-old rapper’s multi-city ‘Still Rollin India Tour’ was cancelled after his old Instagram post went viral creating outrage. The post captioned 'Pray for Punjab', along with two folded hands emojis, depicted a map of India without the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, and the North-East on it. The singer had shared the post during the Punjab Police hunt for Khalistani terrorist Amritpal Singh.
The rapper had then reacted to it in a long Instagram post and said that he was 'extremely disheartened' as he was 'enthusiastic to perform in my country, in front of my people'.
