Rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh, who has opened up about his struggle with bipolar disorder and alcoholism, says he disclosed his issues to his fans and well-wishers because they deserve to know the reason behind his absence from showbiz.
Singh, who is popular for numbers like Angrezi Beat, Manali Trance, Love Dose and High Heels, was away from the spotlight for almost 18 months. He said it was due to his medical condition.
Asked how he gained courage to speak about his problems to the world, Singh said: “As an artist, I believe that I am not my own property. I am the property of my fans. So I thought that they deserve to know about what exactly happened to me.”
Many speculated that the Gabru rapper was at a rehabilitation centre. While Singh was absent from the scene, other rappers gained prominence in Bollywood.
Asked if once he’s back, other rappers will take a back seat, Singh said: “I don’t know what is going to happen.”
Earlier this month, it was reported that the Blue Eyes crooner had reportedly once compared rapper Badshah to a Nano car, to which rapper Raftaar labelled Singh as a “insecure little girl”.
When asked about his view on what he’d like to say to Raftaar’s comment, Singh shrugged it off, saying: “I don’t know, who is that?”
