The recent controversy linked to Fazilpuria -
Recently, Fazilpuria was involved in the controversy along with popular YouTuber Elvish Yadav. Reportedly, he was blamed for his involvement in snake venom for entertainment videos.
Who is Fazilpuria?
Being originally from Fazilpur village, Gurugram (hence the stage name), Fazilpuria has been known in the Haryanvi and Punjabi music industry for a long time. When this song, Ladki Beautiful Kar Gayi Chull, caught attention in 2014, he gained attention across the country and in the film industry, thus landing in the Bollywood film Kapoor and Sons (2016) alongside Alia Bhatt, Sidharth Malhotra, and Fawad Khan. The song, made by Badshah, was an anthem among the younger generation of the country and established Fazilpuria as a part of Indian pop culture.
Such popular songs as Jimmy Choo, Party, or Millionaire do not abandon the typical combination of desi sounds with luxury design and intentional swag. A musical producer who loves to flaunt his designer clothes and make bold pronouncements with flashy cars, Fazilpuria is at least as much a style icon as he is a hitmaker.
Prayers by fans -
As the news related to the firing went viral on social media, various fans came forward and expressed their support and relief over his safety and wished good for him. They further urged authorities to swiftly bring the culprits to justice.
