'ShameOnMTVHustle': Why is Raftaar’s show trending on X?

The popular rap-based reality show 'MTV Hustle' has come under criticism on social media. The hashtag #ShameOnMTVHUSTLE began trending on December 2 after claims surfaced that MTV was attempting to shut down the YouTube channel of comedian Rohan Cariappa. The controversy began when Rohan posted multiple videos mocking and criticizing the rap show. This has led to widespread outrage among fans and followers, with many expressing their support for Rohan's right to freedom of speech and condemning MTV's alleged actions.

Rohan Cariappa's first video on his Instagram Stories showed the comedian scrolling his laptop. He gave his followers a look at the numerous strikes he had received, writing, "50 plus strikes," along with crying emojis. In his Instagram Stories, Cariappa revealed that his YouTube channel was close to being shut down.

After Rohan Cariappa's post appeared on Instagram, netizens quickly took to X to criticize MTV Hustle.

“Rohan Carriappa’s channel might get deleted. These f****ers run a show whose slogan is “Hip-hop doesn’t stop" but can’t handle criticism! MTV Hustle shame on you… Rohan, don’t go easy on them," said an infuriated user.

“Rohan Cariappa, who contributed to MTV Hustle Season 2, is now being silenced with 50 strikes for his creative criticism. The irony? Their tagline is “Hip Hop Don’t Stop," but they’re stopping an honest creator," another user commented.
