Indian singer and rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh’s tryst with controversies does not seem to end. After facing legal heat a few weeks back, the singer has found himself in yet another soup. He recently cancelled his performance at an award show in Mohali, Punjab last minute due to security concerns.
Honey Singh cancels performance in Mohali
As per reports by India Today, the singer was supposed to perform at an award show in Mohali. As the evening dawned on the fateful day and celebrities started coming in, Singh’s team was stopped at the gate because of his large security detail. The organisers had their own security personnel present, and the local police also pitched in to provide an added level of protection at the venue.
“As per the protocols, they did not allow any other external members on the ground for anyone. However, Honey Singh was persistent in getting his own safety unit as a precautionary measure. While the organisers understood and respected his demands, given the overall security plans, they could not agree to it. After a long discussion with the organisers, the musician left the venue, refusing to perform,” the source added. Apart from Honey Singh, actors like Neeru Bajwa, Jacqueline Fernandez, Soundarya Sharma, and Bismil also performed at the event.
