Rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh has once again found himself at the centre of a storm, this time over a comment made during a live performance in Delhi. A clip from the concert has been doing the rounds on social media, triggering sharp criticism from netizens who have called out the singer for what they describe as an objectionable and distasteful remark.
Fresh backlash for Honey Singh
The controversial video is reportedly from a concert by Nanku and Karun held in the national capital earlier this week. Soon after the clip surfaced on platforms like Reddit, it spread rapidly across social media, drawing widespread attention and outrage.
In the now-viral footage, Honey Singh can be heard telling the crowd, “B*******d Dilli ki thand! Isme na gaadi mein **** mein bada maza aata hai, itni thand mein. Gaadi mein s*x karo, Dilli ki thand mein. Use condoms guys, please. Play safe! (Oh my god, it’s cold in Delhi. It's fun to have sex in the car in this weather. So, have sex in the car but use condoms, guys, please. Play safe!)"
The remark did not go down well with many online users, who were quick to brand it “cheap,” “problematic,” and “deeply disappointing.”
Social media reactions pour in
The comment section was flooded with criticism, sarcasm and disbelief. “Is he trying to prove that for some people all breaks, therapies and self work do absolutely nothing because eventually you can’t learn sense and tameez (decency),” one user wrote. Another pointed out, “And this guy was invited by the bcci to perform at the opening ceremony of wpl.”
Some questioned the audience response, with one asking, “Cheering for WHAT exactly?” Others mocked the rapper by dubbing him “Horny Singh” and “Yo Yo Horny Singh”.
A particularly scathing comment read, “His rise to fame began with a vulgar song that reduced Indian women to mere sexual objects. That track brought him money and attention because it catered perfectly to what a indian perverted audience enjoys. That, essentially, is his core identity.” Another user added bluntly, “I guess it’s time for him to disappear again.”
There was no shortage of sarcasm either. “And finally Honey Paaji confirms: Volume 1? Not written by me. Not sung by me. Basically… not me,” one person joked, while another remarked, “sex education dera hai thoda casual way (he is giving sex education in a casual way)”.
“What nonsense,” one wrote, as another commented, “Chapri for a reason.”
