Yo Yo Honey Singh, also known as Hirdesh Singh, has been summoned by Maharashtra Cyber for questioning over alleged objectionable remarks he made during a concert. The summons was issued following a complaint filed against the rapper. Honey Singh was directed to appear before the investigating officer on a specified date, but he has since requested more time to attend the questioning.
The investigation is ongoing, and further details about the alleged remarks and the next date of questioning have not been disclosed. This incident comes amid another legal matter involving Honey Singh and rapper Badshah, where a Delhi High Court recently ordered the removal of a song associated with the two artists from online platforms due to it being described as vulgar, obscene and derogatory towards women.
The court directed that all URLs carrying the song, including versions and remixes, be taken down. Honey Singh had previously claimed he did not perform the song during a concert in March 2025 at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium, but the court did not accept this explanation. The Maharashtra Cyber inquiry is an independent matter, focusing on the alleged remarks made during a concert, and the investigation is still in progress.
