Previous allegations on Honey Singh
This is not the first time the singer’s name has been linked to controversy. It treated women as sex objects. Advocate Rupali Panwar argued that the song is vulgar and is available on social media platforms. It is accessible even to children of tender age, which is harmful for them. To protect them, the song should be taken down immediately from all social media platforms, including YouTube and sharing platforms.
Earlier in May, Honey was directed by the Delhi High Court to file an affidavit after an organisation, Hindu Shakti Dal, moved a petition alleging that the singer sang an objectionable song during his performance at the Indira Gandhi Stadium in 2025. On April 2, the Delhi High Court directed the Central Government to take down the URLs of the song Volume 1 of Honey from all social media platforms and sharing platforms. The song was released in 2006 by Honey and Badshah , the petitioner said. During the hearing on April 2, the bench said that this song is highly vulgar, obscene and derogatory towards women. It was also submitted that Honey sang two lines of the song at a public concert at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium on March 1, 2025.
The HC said that the song is obscene, vulgar and derogatory towards women, and it cannot be allowed in the name of artistic freedom and Freedom of Speech and expression.
Honey previously denied the claim of performing the song at a concert.
