Honey Singh backs out of award show over security concerns: Sources

Seems like controversies and Honey Singh go hand in hand. The rapper-musician has found himself in another soup, as it’s been alleged that he backed out of a recent event owing to security concerns. Sources exclusively tell Indiatoday.in that Honey Singh was about to perform at an award show, but since his personal bodyguards were not allowed, he chose to back out at the last minute. The award show was held on August 23 in Mohali.

As the evening dawned on the fateful day and celebrities started coming in, Honey Singh’s team was stopped at the gate because of his large security detail. As per sources, the organisers had their own security personnel present, and the local police also pitched in to provide an added level of protection at the



venue.

“As per the protocols, they did not allow any other external members on the ground for anyone. However, Honey Singh was persistent in getting his own safety unit as a precautionary measure. While the organisers understood and respected his demands, given the overall security plans, they could not agree to it. After a long discussion with the organisers, the musician left the venue, refusing to perform,” the source added.

Both teams are presently working on the financial dispute caused by the last-minute cancellation and are trying to come to a cordial conclusion.

Apart from Honey Singh, actors like Neeru Bajwa, Jacqueline Fernandez, Soundarya Sharma, and Bismil also performed at the event.
