Yo Yo Honey Singh (Indian singer-rapper) has informed the Delhi High Court that he did not perform his controversial track 'Volume 1' during a concert at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium on March 1, 2025. This statement comes in response to a petition filed by the Hindu Shakti Dal, which alleges that the song is vulgar and derogatory towards women. Senior advocate Rajshekhar Rao, representing Singh, stated in court, 'No such event happened. I did not sing.' Previously, on April 2, the court ordered the removal of the song from online platforms, deeming its lyrics 'grossly vulgar, patently obscene, deeply derogatory towards women, and wholly bereft of any redeeming artistic, literary or social value.' The court has also instructed the Indian government to ensure compliance with this takedown order. The case is set for further hearing on May 19, 2025, where Singh's affidavit is expected to clarify his position regarding the allegations.
