Singer AP Dhillon recently found himself at the center of a controversy involving fellow Punjabi music icon Diljit Dosanjh during a concert in Chandigarh. Dhillon accused Diljit of offering public support while allegedly blocking him on Instagram. The feud intensified when Diljit responded with a screenshot of Dhillon’s Instagram profile, asserting he had never blocked him.
As the tension between the two artists escalated, rapper Badshah stepped in with a cryptic yet unifying message. Without naming either party, Badshah shared on his Instagram Stories, “Please don’t make the mistakes that we made. The world is ours for the taking. Like they say, ‘If you wanna go fast, go alone, but if you wanna go far, go together.’ United we stand 🙏🧿”
The controversy began during Dhillon’s Chandigarh performance, where he appeared to take a subtle jab at Diljit. Referring to a recent remark by Diljit, who had called Dhillon “one of his brothers” while wishing him well for his tour, Dhillon commented, “First unblock me on Instagram, and then talk to me.”
The statement quickly gained traction online, prompting Diljit to clarify the situation. Sharing a screenshot of Dhillon’s account, Diljit wrote on Instagram, “I never unblocked you because I never blocked you. My issues can be with governments, but never with fellow artists.”
Dhillon later addressed the situation on his Instagram Stories, acknowledging the backlash he expected for airing his grievances. “I wasn’t planning on saying shit knowing everyone will hate on me anyways but at least we know what’s real and what’s not,” he explained.
For the unversed, the feud between Badshah and Honey Singh has been marked by public statements, indirect jabs, and professional rivalry. The tension reportedly began when Honey Singh commented on Badshah’s music, labeling it as “copy-paste” and not truly original. This led to a heated exchange, with Badshah asserting that his success and style are his own and suggesting that Singh’s criticism stemmed from insecurity. Since then, Badshah and Honey Singh have not worked together.
