Punjabi rapper-singer Yo Yo Honey Singh has once again found himself at the centre of controversy after remarks made during his concert triggered speculation among fans. The incident took place during the Delhi leg of his My Story World Tour at IGI Stadium, where Honey Singh, while addressing the crowd, claimed that his show was a “superhit” and described others as “six-seven” in Gen-Z language.
That night, while Honey Singh was giving his performance at the event, he called it a “superhit,” and then he went ahead to say that others were just “six-seven.” His tone changed mid-sentence, and it was sudden. He moved his hand to emphasize the words he was saying, as if he was carving them in the air. People were shocked and froze while watching the video, which was going viral beyond the boundaries of the event.
There is something about the number 6-7 that lands mid when people say it online. Not bad, not great, either. Younger generations use this term to say that something has hit neutral ground. The ratings of something are neither leaning towards one side nor the other. This number tag is used for something that has happened, and failure is not an option. This term is used in texts and posts as if it is a matter of fact that something is just okay.
Immediately after the video came up online, many of Honey Singh's fans started making the assumption that he was talking about Punjabi singer Karan Aujla.
This chatter only intensified since Aujla was on tour and had performed in Mohali just the night before.
Not pointing fingers at anyone in particular, Honey Singh has still left some fans wondering if he was referring to Aujla - particularly with those recent performances. Of course, many fans are also pointing to Badshah, as if the two have never let the coldness between them dissipate over the years.
An interpretation of what was said, and another way of looking at it. One interpretation follows, but another perspective is also in play
Fans look at it differently. Some fans think Honey Singh was referring to his performances being better than everyone else's. Others think he was simply saying he’s noticed his comeback performances are reaching high notes when his average performances elsewhere are just that - average. It’s all a matter of perspective.
