This year, Indians witnessed some big concerts of international artists such as ED Sheeran, Dua Lipa and Coldplay. Reacting to the concerts, popular Bollywood singer Amit Trivedi made some sharp remarks on it. He stated that ‘global artists are very smart and go where the money is’. Trivedi mentioned that they don’t care about the people and they are only doing business in the country. Amit further said that they are happy in their first world country. 

In an interview with India Today, Amit Trivedi said “They (global artists) have understood that the population is high and there's a big market here. They are very smart, they know the game well. They go where the money is. Unko koi lena dena nahi humse. Woh dhanda kar rahe hai bhaiyya (They have nothing to do with us. They are solely doing business here). Whether it's Ed Sheeran, or Dua Lipa, whoever it is, they know that the market is huge here, and the consumption is very high here. (It's) Pure business. They are happy in their first-world country.” 

When asked if he would want to collaborate with global artists for Azaad Collab 2, Amit added, “performers of the West want to collaborate with. They will happily collab, because unka dhanda hai, unka fayda hai. Mera fayda hoga toh karunga, dekhenge (It's their business, and it's profitable. If it benefits me, I'll do. We will see).” 

Amit Trivedi released Azaad Collab in November, which received praise from the audience. It had 14 songs in total including gubbara, ghar di rounak, kesariyo, channa di yaariyaan,  rangeeni, phir dil laga liya, sajaniya, jind jaaniya, sunn husna di pariye, maahroo, vallo vallo, ni maaye, beparwah and kesariyo - club mix. 

While sharing the teaser of the collab, Amit wrote on Instagram “The sound of freedom is here, brought to life with all our heart. ❤ #AzaadCollab’s teaser is just a glimpse of the journey we’ve shared with incredible artists. Take a look and mark your calendars for November 5th. Can’t wait to share this with you!”
