Rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh is facing a wave of criticism after a video surfaced online showing him making sexually explicit remarks at a recent concert in Delhi. The video, which went viral across social media platforms, shows the singer addressing the audience, commenting on Delhi's cold weather and suggesting that it would be ideal for sexual activity in cars.
In the clip, Honey Singh is heard saying, "Behend Dilli ki thand! Isme na gaadi mein lene mein bada maza aata hai, itni thand mein. Gaadi mein sex karo, Dilli ki thand mein. Use condoms guys, please. Play safe!". This translates to: "F, Delhi's cold! In this weather, it's great fun to do it in the car. Have sex in the car in Delhi's cold. Use condoms, guys, please. Play safe!".
While some members of the audience responded with cheers, the comments have triggered widespread condemnation online, with many social media users slamming Honey Singh for promoting obscenity in public and using vulgar language. Critics have labeled his remarks as "cheap," "problematic," "deeply disappointing," and "vulgar advice".
The video is reportedly from Nanku and Karun's concert in Delhi. Social media platforms like Reddit, X, and Instagram have been flooded with reactions to the clip. Many users have expressed their disappointment and anger, questioning the message it sends to young people who look up to Honey Singh. Some have also referenced his past controversies and blamed the audience for encouraging such behavior.
"Millions of youngsters follow Honey Singh, yet he appears to promote inappropriate and obscene behaviour in public spaces," one user wrote. Another commented, "Those who consider Honey Singh an ideal should look at his deeds... I'm really shocked that someone can say such vulgar things from a public platform".
This is not the first time Honey Singh has faced criticism for his lyrics and on-stage persona. He has previously been embroiled in controversies over allegedly misogynistic and obscene content in his songs. Some social media users are suggesting that the rapper is deliberately courting controversy to stay relevant. "Since his career isn't going well, he'll say anything to get attention," one user commented.
As of now, Yo Yo Honey Singh has not responded to the criticism surrounding his remarks. The incident has sparked a broader debate about the responsibility of celebrities and the impact of their words on audiences, especially young people.
