Yo Yo Honey Singh took a jibe at those making “ulte seedhe” comments on him on YouTube podcasts. During a concert in Lucknow, the singer-rapper said, “So many people do podcasts on YouTube these days. Mere baare main ulta seedha bolte hain. Unko yeh batao, hum yahan tabse hain jab YouTube bhi nahin tha. Yeh baal aise hi thodi na safed hue hain.”

Sharing how he has evolved with time, and has worked on his lifestyle choices, the musician added, “Aiyaashi kari toh dil khol kar kari, sharaab pi toh dil khol kar pi... lekin mere doston, behnon aur bhaiyon, maine daaru chorr di hai. Aap bhi nashe-washe chorro. Aaj kal main sirf paani pi raha hoon.”

The musician went on to express his desire to collaborate with singer Diljit Dosanjh, and said, “Maine Diljit bhai ke saath ek gaana kiya tha, Lak 28 Kudi Da (The Lion of Punjab; 2011). We couldn’t work together post that. I request you all to make videos and tag Diljit bhai so that he and I could collaborate again.”

During his performance, Yo Yo went on to sing Premika Ne Pyaar Se (Jhankar; 1994), which marked his collab with his mentor, musician A R Rahman, whose photo was also displayed at the backdrop. “This is my tribute to Rahman sir. Woh mere ustad hain. Ustad ji got India an Oscar aur main Grammy lekar aaunga. Hum phirse kamaal karenge,” he said.
