Yo Yo Honey Singh has made his comeback. The once rap sensation Yo Yo came up with a music video called 'Makhna' which released in December 2018. Even though the beats of his track were in place, the lyrics of the song disturbed many.

In fact now Punjab Women's State Commission has sent Yo Yo Honey Singh legal notice for the song. Chairperson of the commission Manisha Gulati came out strongly against the lyrics of his music video 'Makhna'. She told The Quint, “People from other countries chant ‘Hare Rama Hare Krishna’, while Honey Singh sometimes uses words like balaatkari (rapist) and sometimes words that go against the dignity of women. If he can’t stop using these lyrics, he should go to some foreign country where this is allowed.”

Manisha added, “This song is getting viral on social media and its video is also objectionable. Hence, we have taken a serious note of it and asked the police to register an FIR against the singer and company owner. We want that this song be banned and hence we have also raised our objection with the censor board. We cannot allow songs with such obscene words to be allowed to propagate further. We will also meet the state government officials to get the song banned at least from Punjab.”

Although Manisha has raised her concern, DGP Dinkar Gupta, who is investigating the matter, only ended up saying, “If there is a violation, due legal action will be followed.”
