Canada-Based Singer Shubh Faces Backlash Ahead Of India Tour, Virat Kohli Unfollows Him

New Delhi: The Punjab-born, Brampton, Canada-based 26-year-old rapper Shubhneet Singh waded into controversy ahead of his India tour, which was to begin on Saturday, September 23, with a performance on Cordelia Cruises, Mumbai.

Shub’s old Instagram post has gone viral creating outrage. The post captioned 'Pray for Punjab', along with two folded hands emojis, depicted a map of India without the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab and the North-East on it. The singer had shared the post during the Punjab Police hunt for Khalistani terrorist Amritpal Singh.

Following the outrage, Virat Kohli, who has praised the singer in the past, unfollowed him. He had some time back responded to a song posted by Subh on Instagram, saying: "My favourite artist right now @shubhworldwide and my all-time dancer doing what he does on this song is love. Truly mesmerised."
