Rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh has issued a public apology after facing severe backlash for passing vulgar remarks during a recent concert.

 

Two days ago, during a Nanku and Karun concert in Delhi, the rapper said to the crowd, "Have s*x in the car in Delhi's winters. Condoms. Use condoms," with suggestive words thrown in. A clip of his remarks went viral on social media, drawing widespread criticism.

 

Following the uproar, the rapper shared a video on social media defending his intentions while apologising for the language he used.

 

"When I went on the show, I saw the Gen Z audience and thought I'd give them a message in their language, to not have unprotected s*x and use condoms. I thought I'd speak in the language they will understand better, the way they watch OTT content and movies," Honey Singh explained.

He claimed he had recently met with gynecologists and sexologists who told him that Gen Z suffers from sexually transmitted diseases, which prompted him to offer the advice.

 

"But many were very offended by that language. I apologise to all who felt bad at what I said. I didn't intend to hurt anyone. Humans make mistakes," he said.

 

The rapper promised to be more careful with his words in the future.

 

"I'll try not to repeat my mistake. I'll make sure to make a comment keeping in mind to whom I'm talking and how I say it," he added.

 

Signing off, he appealed to his fans for forgiveness. "I apologise to all of you. Your Yo Yo Honey Singh, keep loving me."
