Yo Yo Honey Singh’s battle with mental health is well-documented as the rapper has often talked about it in detail on record. After losing 18 kilograms of weight in one month, some of his fans have been left worried. One of them took to his Instagram handle to post a video about Singh’s drastic weight loss, and even the change in the shape of his nose, much to the rapper’s amusement.
A digital creator, who goes by the handle @jkxbandit, said in the video, “I don’t know why no one has noticed this yet, but something has happened to Honey Singh. He was looking so glamorous for the past two years, but in his recent videos and photos, you can see there’s something wrong with his nose.” The video then zoomed in on Singh’s slightly crooked nose for reference.
Singh spotted the video and commented, “Kuch nahi hua manhoos (Nothing has happened) (laughing with tears emoji). I’m working out hard for glorious days.” While some fans of the rapper expressed concern in the comments, others heaved a sigh of relief at Singh’s denial and sent him their best wishes for his good health.
Singh’s long-standing issues with mental health surfaced in 2014 when he was about to perform in the US as part of a tour organized by Shah Rukh Khan among others. “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,'” he said in his recently released Netflix India documentary Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous.
Honey even smashed a coffee mug on his head to get out of performing on the tour then. Later, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. While recovering, his medication involved a lot of sodium that led to massive weight gain over months. After returning to action recently, Singh’s weight reduced from 95 kg to 77 kg. In an interview with Aaj Tak, his fitness trainer revealed Singh’s diet which led to the drastic weight loss organically.
On the work front, last year, Singh released his new album Glory, produced by T-Series. This year, he also lent his voice to four Bollywood songs — “Hitman” in Sonu Sood’s Fateh, “Money Money” in Ajay Devgn’s Raid 2, “Laal Pari” in Akshay Kumar’s Housefull 5, and “Rani Tu Mein Raja 2.0” in Devgn’s Son of Sardaar 2.
