Mangalore, 04 Oct 2013: Honey Singh, who was in news after Delhi gang rape for an offensive lyrics against women, is all set to mesmerise youngsters of Manipal, the town which witnessed another gang rape in June this year.
’Yo Yo Honey Singh in Manipal’, the live music concert, will be held under the aegis of Starlit Entertainments at MJC Grounds in Manipal on October 19. In the aftermath of the Delhi gang rape case, the lyrics to some of his songs, which allegedly depict violence against women and rape positively, have caused controversy. While an FIR was lodged against Singh for his offensive lyrics, an online petition filed by group of social activists led to the cancellation of his New Year performance at a Gurgaon hotel.
Singh, who has been acquitted of all charges by Punjab and Haryana High Court there was no proof that he has sung the song, will enthral youths in Manipal. ’International Villager’ fame, Singh will present three and half hours live concert along with Alfaaz, Money Ajula and other members of Mafia Mundeer troupe, said Abhinav Singh, one of the organisers.
"All preparations are being taken up to make the show a grand success. Wherever be the venue, Honey Singh attracts about 10,000 music lovers. However, we have plans to make arrangements for about 8,000 - 10,000 music freaks in Manipal," Abhinav said.
"Honey Singh has cleared all controversy. He has already made it clear that he has nothing to do with that controversial song. Courts also have acquitted him in the case. First of all, Honey Singh is an artist and nothing more. Many fans too want him to see performing here," said Naveen, another organiser.
