Will Young Stunners be allowed to perform in India?

If you’re a fan of the talented Pakistani hip-hop duo, Young Stunners, you might have seen the buzz about their upcoming tour in India. Two stars Talha Anjum and Talhah Yunus, who are the Young Stunners have gained a massive following across the border.

Young Stunners’ upcoming performances are in Delhi on December 25, Bengaluru on December 21, and Mumbai on December 13. Skill Box is in charge of organizing the tour and has started accepting pre-registrations for concert tickets, giving priority to those who purchase them early.

However, the rappers have not announced the tour on their social media and have only updated it with updates about their tours in Australia and Canada. And, some Indian social media users are criticizing the event by reposting previous tweets from Talha Anjum’s accounts, which allegedly made fun of Indian Air Force pilot Abhinandan, attacked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and called for the independence of Kashmir from Indian rule.

The organizer for the Young Stunners’ tour, Desi Disco Entertainment, says that the duo’s shows in India are still on, with registrations open on another website for the Young Stunners Mumbai gig.
Vaheed Khan, the director of Desi Disco, stated in an interview with The Print in India, that the controversy was a part of a larger strategy to attack the show for declining to work with certain handles.

Vaheed Khan said, “We won’t let a few negative tweets stop our show. Some social media pages wanted a share of our profits, but we refused to promote them. That’s why they started posting negative tweets. Half of these tweets are fake and have nothing to do with Talha or Pakistan.”
Young Stunners have a huge fan following in India, with the largest number of their Spotify listeners from Mumbai (152,583 listeners) and New Delhi (245,000 listeners). While the controversy swirls, fans await an official confirmation from the duo.
