Honey Singh Apologises Over His Alleged Obscene Remarks At Delhi Show
Seems like controversies and rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh go hand in hand. Since Thursday morning, he has been at the centre of online attention for all the wrong reasons.
A video from one of the shows in Delhi went viral, in which he allegedly made obscene remarks. The comments did not sit well with many, and he was widely called out for them.
Hours later, on Thursday night, Honey Singh took to Instagram and issued an apology.
He said the video circulating since morning was edited and shared out of context, but added that he understood why it made many people uncomfortable.
” A video of mine has been going viral on Instagram since morning, edited in a way that’s offended many people. I want to tell you the whole story…,” he said in his apology video.
He added, “My intention was never to hurt, insult, or offend anyone. A few days prior to the incident, I had interactions with leading gynaecologist and sexologist who shared about the rising concerns of sexually transmitted diseases among the younger generation due to unprotected sex. This conversation stayed with me. While being a guest at the show of Nanku and Karun, and seeing a large number of Gen Z in the audience, I tried convey a message about importance of protection in a language which they would refer to which is used in OTT they watch.”
Honey Singh promised that he would be more mindful of his words and actions going forward.
“However, I deeply regret that the way I expressed this message was inappropriate and not acceptable to many. I offer my heartfelt apologies to everyone who felt hurt or disrespected. Main apni zubaan pe niyantran rakhunga…Going forward, I assure you that I will be far more mindful and responsible in my words and actions,” he said. (ANI)
