Honey Singh Clarifies Delhi Concert Comment ‘Gaadi Mein S*x Karo’, Says It Was For Gen Z: New Gen Is Suffering

Yo
Yo
Honey
Singh
has
issued
an
apology
after
a
comment
made
at
Nanku-Karun’s
concert
in
Delhi
went
viral.
In
a
video
shared
on
Instagram
on
15
January,
Yo
Yo
Honey
Singh
said
the
remark
was
meant
as
a
health
message
for
young
listeners
but
many
people
found
the
language
offensive.

The
incident
took
place
while
Yo
Yo
Honey
Singh
was
performing
as
a
guest
act
at
the
Delhi
show.
During
the
performance,
Yo
Yo
Honey
Singh
told
the
crowd
to
have
sex
in
a
car
because
of
the
cold
weather.
The
line
drew
sharp
criticism
online,
with
several
users
objecting
to
the
choice
of
words.

apology
video
and
explanation

In
the
Instagram
video,
Yo
Yo
Honey
Singh
tried
to
explain
how
the
controversial
comment
came
about.
Yo
Yo
Honey
Singh
said,
“I
was
just
a
guest
on
the
show
and
about
two
days
before
the
concert,
I
had
lunch
with
some
gynaecologists
and
some
sexologists.
I
was
talking
to
them
and
they
told
me
that
the
young
generation
is
suffering
a
lot
from
sexually
transmitted
diseases.”

Continuing
in
the
same
video,
Yo
Yo
Honey
Singh
added,
“This
thing
is
going
on
and
a
lot
of
people
are
having
unsafe
sex.
So
when
I
went
to
this
show,
when
I
saw
the
Gen
Z
audience,
I
thought
that
I
should
give
a
message
to
Gen
Z
in
their
language
that
you
should
not
have
unprotected
sex,
use
a
condom.”

Yo
Yo
Honey
Singh
apology,
criticism
and
audience
reaction

Yo
Yo
Honey
Singh
said
the
intention
was
to
spread
awareness
in
a
style
that
Gen
Z
understands.
However,
Yo
Yo
Honey
Singh
acknowledged
that
the
attempt
backfired.
Many
people
on
social
media
flagged
the
sentence
as
vulgar
rather
than
educational,
and
questioned
the
way
the
message
was
framed
at
a
public
concert.

Yo
Yo
Honey
Singh
addressed
those
complaints
directly,
saying
in
the
video,
“But
I
thought
that
in
the
language
of
OTT,
the
kind
of
OTT
and
films
that
Gen
Z
is
watching
these
days,
if
I
talk
in
that
language,
they
will
understand
more.
But
many
people
found
that
language
very
bad.
I
apologise
to
all
of
you
who
found
my
language
bad.
I
had
no
intention
of
insulting
anyone.
And
man
is
a
puppet
of
mistakes.
I
will
try
not
to
make
such
mistakes
again
after
today.
I
will
control
my
language
when
I
say
something
and
who
I
will
say
it
to
and
how
I
will
say
it.
And
I
will
be
careful
that
this
thing
can
be
edited
and
made
viral
in
a
wrong
way.
So
anyway,
I
apologise
to
all
of
you.”

and

the
Delhi
remark

The
original
line
from
the
Delhi
show
continued
to
circulate
widely
on

In

from
the

Yo
Yo
Honey
Singh

saying,
“Behen***d
Dilli

Isme

lene

aata
hai,

the
apology
to

felt
hurt,
promised
to
be
more
careful
with
language
on
stage,

sensibilities
and
the
risk
of

going
viral.
