Crowd, confusion and chaos follow Yo Yo Honey Singh wherever he goes. The Punjabi rapper’s previous concerts in Delhi University created stampede-like scenes, and the newest one on Saturday night in Kirti Nagar’s Moments Mall, where he together with his team performed to celebrate the launch of DLF’s multi-brand outlet AVE.NEU, kept up the record.
It began when the Dope Shope and Angreji Beat singer took a walk across the new store. Though he had a human chain of 5-7 bouncers on both sides to offer protection to him from the unruly crowd that forcefully entered to have a glimpse of him, but that did not help as expensive showpieces, perfume bottles and sunglasses faced the wear and tear. An employee was overheard saying, “We would have surely incurred losses not only as a result of product destruction but in addition as a result of shop lifting incidents.”
Honey was mobbed on his way out from the shop towards the performance area. His bouncers may well be seen pushing the group to make way for the rapping sensation. And once he reached the performing arena the fans went crazy, the roads went choc-a-block and the police was struggling to cope with this madness. Such a lot in order that the police was forced to do a slight lathi charge to regulate the rowdy fans who were looking to barge into the premise.
Singh saw this and requested the cops not to mistreat the fans like this. He said from the stage, “Sir, they're my brothers... please don’t hit them as they're here to peer me.” Singh previously has given an open challenge to international singers Enrique Iglesias and Akon saying that, “If there happen to be parallel concerts of Akon, Enrique and that i in Delhi, then I'LL BE pulling twice the group as compare to them.”
Even this time, he took a dig at Akon and Shah Rukh Khan saying, “Why did Khan invite Akon from abroad to sing Chammak Challo, can we have less talent here… hearken to our version of the song that is much better than the original.”
He performed for roughly an hour in front of thousands of crowd who might be seen humming the lyrics and dancing to his tunes. And to circumvent any longer chaos he was made to go away the venue while his last song of the evening was half way through… but still the fans ran behind his vanity, some managed to even climb at the bumper but his security took him away safely.
