Indian rapper Hirdesh Singh, known professionally as Honey Singh, has finally addressed Bollywood King Shah Rukh Khan’s alleged slapping on him after the long distance of nine years.
In 2013, Honey Singh performed the song Lungi Dance for the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer, Chennai Express, which led to the two forming a friendship. Not long after, Shah Rukh invited the rapper, whose popularity was on the rise, to join him for a tour of the United States in 2014. Honey initially jumped on the offer. However, in his recently released documentary, Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous, the rapper confessed that he was severely overworked and exhausted back then. In fact, he even stated that was the first time it struck him that something wasn't right with his mind. Honey continued: "Now, nine years later, let me tell you what really happened. Nobody knows what I'm going to tell you on camera now."
Honey recounted: "When they took me to Chicago for the show, I said, 'I don't want to perform'. I was sure that I was going to die during that show. Everyone told me that I should get ready, but I refused. My managers came over, and they said, 'Why aren't you getting ready?' I said, 'I'm not going'. I went to the washroom, took a trimmer, and I shaved my hair off. I said, 'How will I perform now?' They said, 'Wear a cap and perform'."
Honey, dead set on not performing, held on tightly to his chair and refused to move an inch. Before long, he was yelling that he didn't want to perform. However, when that didn't work, he took more drastic measures. He spotted a coffee mug, picked it up, and smashed it on his head, resulting in a serious injury that needed multiple stitches.
However, rumours soon started spreading like wildfire that an altercation between Shah Rukh and Honey had caused the latter's injuries. It was alleged that the actor had attacked the rapper. Now, a little over nine years later, Honey has quashed the rumours, stating that Shah Rukh loved him too much to lay a hand on him. Honey firmly said: “ "Someone started the rumour that Shah Rukh Khan slapped me. That man loves me, he'll never raise his hand on me."
