Bohemia, known as the pioneer of Punjabi rap, has sparked a heated debate among fans after criticizing Yo Yo Honey Singh in a recent interview. The rapper, who has been a major figure in the Punjabi music scene since the early 2000s, didn’t hold back while sharing his views on Singh’s career and approach to music. His remarks, however, have drawn backlash from Singh’s fans, leading to a wave of online trolling. Let’s dive into the details.
What Bohemia Said About Yo Yo Honey Singh
In the interview, Bohemia slammed Yo Yo Honey Singh, accusing him of "manipulating the industry" to inflate his success. Referring to a past interview where Singh criticized some of his own songs, Bohemia pointed out how Singh now admits that tracks like "Blue Hai Paani Paani" were subpar.
“Have you seen that interview?” Bohemia asked. “He said, ‘This Blue Hai Paani Paani, what kind of songs did I make?’ He’s now saying it’s not rap or poetry. But the same industry made him bigger than me by promoting such songs. It was all manipulation.”
Bohemia also explained why he has often felt sidelined. “I refused to sign deals or follow the industry’s ways, so they chose to promote others. It was never about the music but about the manipulation behind it.”
The Backlash From Fans
Bohemia’s statements have not gone down well with Yo Yo Honey Singh’s loyal fans. Social media is buzzing with comments mocking the rapper. Some called his remarks unnecessary, while others defended Singh, praising his music.
“Manipulation nhi. Public ne usko STAR banaya.”

Another added, “Bohemia doing Khud ke muh se khud ki tarif” Others simply dismissed his comments as jealousy.
Why Bohemia Stands Out in Punjabi Rap
For over two decades, Bohemia has been a trailblazer in Punjabi rap. His groundbreaking albums like Pesa Nasha Pyar and Da Rap Star set the tone for desi rap long before mainstream artists gained fame. Unlike Singh or Badshah, Bohemia has always kept his music raw and true to the genre, refusing to glamorize it for commercial appeal.
The Bigger Picture
This feud highlights a larger issue within the Indian music industry—authenticity versus commercial success. Bohemia’s criticism isn’t just about Singh or Badshah; it’s about how the essence of rap as a genre has been overshadowed by catchy beats and flashy videos.
Whether you side with Bohemia or Singh, there’s no denying that both have played significant roles in shaping Punjabi and desi hip-hop. But this latest clash also reminds us of the thin line between artistic integrity and market-driven music.
