Following extensive disapproval of Delhi gangrape victim’s death, a hotel in Gurgaon had to call off the New Year Eve performance by rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh.
Irked with the rapper’s songs which are invariably loaded with violent and abusive language, IPS officer Amitabh Thakur lodged an FIR. “These songs are vulgar, lewd, indecent and act as catalysts for crime against women,” Amitabh was quoted as saying.
Soon a petition was filed on the website change.org. The petition read, “These pornographic lyrics are unacceptable and it is because of women-hating sentiments like these that men think that it’s fine to do what they did on that bus…”
[youtube id=”qa9-xWE9vZY” width=”620″ height=”360″]While everybody has been slamming Honey Singh for using explicit language in his songs, thereby leaving a negative impact on the young minds, his publicist came to his rescue. He said, “These are not Honey Singh’s songs. He has never ever composed and written such songs. This is an attempt to malign him by people who are jealous of him.”
Here’s what people have been tweeting:

RT @vishwas1109 The irony is we can’t arrest our politicians charged with rapes but will ban “Honey SIngh” for his song’s lyrics..
Alladin ka CHIRAG! @Ek_Tha_Baba
No use of outraging over Honey Singh . He has full support from bollywood.
Amit Bhowmik @amitvelo
You think some Honey Singh rapper is bad? You’ve not heard Snoop Dogg have you? He’s performing in Pune 11th Jan. Your move hypocrites.
Abhishek Upadhya @_logik
Honey Singh should now take lessons from Anuradha Paudwal or Falguni Pathak and do Bhajan Dandiya nonsense.clearly, no freedom of expression
Sumit Chaudhary™ @SumitChaudharyy
Oh so last night in Gurgaon Sunny Leone’s Performance was better than Honey Singh’s Performance … nice nice
Aarushi @AaruC
@Hardigirl What I was going to say! It’s not as if Honey Singh came to the scene and overnight rate or rape doubled.
Bhaskar Chatterjee @BhaskarChat
People who went viral against Honey Singh yesterday r most friendly with DelhiCM Dixit who danced with Honey last month.Hypocrite Barkha,Vir
Naila Mateen Patel @nailamateen
Cant understand all that sarcasm around banning Honey Singh songs. Are you guys ok with him writing those lyrics about your women?
Shailesh Patrikar @humbleguy12
FIR lodged against Honey Singh by Anurag Thakur, an IPS officer, he’s the reason why many people in India do not want to be an IPS officer
Pallav P Narang @ThePallav
Apparently rapes are caused by Honey Singh and if we ban him everything will be OK. This govt. Surely has the best spin doctors…
Sunanda Vashisht @sunandavashisht
FIR? RT @ANI_news: FIR filed against rapper Honey Singh in Lucknow.The complaint was lodged by IPS officer Amitabh Thakur.
Navin Bajaj @NavinBajaj
Always knew Anurag Kashyap doesn’t respect women. His movie DEVD proved it. No wonder he supports Honey Singh
Vishwas Shukla @vishwas1109
The irony is we can’t arrest our politicians charged with rapes but will ban “Honey SIngh” for his song’s lyrics..
Rohini Haldea @rohaldea
So tell me again, how is gagging Honey Singh for being misogynistic different from banning Satanic Verses for being anti-Muslim?
Ramakrishnan @arian_tweets
Can’t understand this sudden Yo-Yo Honey Singh sensationalism. Almost all Selvaraghavan’s movies have such lyrics in them.
Tej @dvantej
RT: Barkha Dutt & Vir Sanghvi were most active in banning Honey Singh. Both tainted by Radia tapes. Trying too hard to get public vote.
Mrs.Abhimanyu Singh @neha_AZian
If honey singh is banned! then so should sunny leone be!
Asma Rizwan @asmariz
why there has been no mention of these filthy songs degrading women & glorifying sexual assault &rape, in mainstream media?Honey singh
Amein Zahid @ameinzahid
Honey Singh’s lyrics are no different from any other hip hop artist. Does’nt make sense to isolate him.
