If you thought the Punjabi music scenes were all about dhol and nagada, hold your turbans. the whole Punjabi music scene is a lot spicier and controversial with two of the biggest Punjabi artists starting a dispute that nobody saw coming. Social media is ablaze after seeing the jaw-dropping showdown between the heart and soul of the Punjabi music industry. If you’re not living under a rock you must’ve figured it out by now. Yes, I’m talking about the Diljit Dosanjh and AP Dhillon controversy which might’ve started with an innocent push but has now turned into a full-blown ‘Kalesh”. It’s a drama definitely worthy of a Netflix documentary.
Okay without boring you with the overview let’s spill the tea- It all started when Diljit Dosanjh during his Indore concert sent good luck wishes to AP Dhillon and Karan Aujla. Calling them brothers, Diljit Dosanjh said, “Mere aur do bhaiyon ne tour shuru kiya hai Karan Aujla aur AP Dhillon nein, unke liye bhi best of luck”. Fans were truly overwhelmed with the love shared between their favorite artists and it was all rainbows and beats for the Punjabi music fans until it wasn’t.
Things took an ugly turn at AP Dhillon’s concert where the singer said out loud some controversial things about the “Lover” singer that no one says is coming. At the concert, AP Dhillon said, “I just want to say one small thing, brother. First, unblock me on Instagram and then talk to me. I don’t want to talk about what marketing is happening but first unblock me. I’ve been working for three years. Have you ever seen me in any controversy?”Wait, What? It didn’t take much time for the fans to take sides on social media and make it their feud.
But as I said this full-blown feud doesn’t end here. We all know Diljit isn’t the one to stay silent and let go of things. The singer shared quite a cryptic post on Instagram where he denied the claims of blocking AP Dhillon. The singer shared a screenshot of AP Dhillon’s profile in which he wrote, “I never blocked you. Mere pange sarkaaran naal ho sakde aa….kalaakaran naal nih” Even after all this AP Dhillon wasn’t done yet, the singer again took his social media handle to express his view on Diljit denying his claims. The singer replied to Diljit’s post saying, “I wasn’t planning on saying shit knowing everyone will hate on me anyways but at least we know what’s real and what’s not.
The fans have turned into full detective mode proving who’s right and who’s wrong on social media. But whatever the reason might be behind all this, I hope both artists find a way to resolve this as no one would want to see them as rivals.
Comment down on what you think of the ongoing controversy between the two.
