Honey Singh said, “Two days before this show, I had lunch with my gynecologist and sexologist. They told me that the younger generation is suffering a lot due to unsafe sex and STDs”. Seeing a predominantly Gen Z audience at the concert, Honey Singh said he felt the urge to send a message about using condoms and staying safe, but chose the wrong approach. He admitted mistake and said, “I thought if I spoke in the kind of language Gen Z hears on OTT platforms and in movies, they would understand it. But that language offended many people,” he said.
