AP Dhillon-Diljit Dosanjh Controversy Explained

AP Dhillon Targets Diljit Dosanjh

AP Dhillon made a public request to Diljit Dosanjh during his concert in Chandigarh, asking him to unblock him on Instagram before making any further public comments about him. This development comes on the heels of Diljit Dosanjh's concert in Indore, where he gave a shout-out to both Karan Aujla and AP Dhillon, acknowledging the start of their shows in India. Dhillon told the crowd, “I just want to say one small thing, brother. First unblock me on Instagram and then talk to me. I don’t want to talk about what marketing is happening but first unblock me. I've been working for three years. Have you ever seen me in any controversy?”

AP Dhillon Fires Back

AP Dhillon has fired back at Diljit Dosanjh's claim that he didn't block the former on Instagram. Taking to his Instagram Stories, Dhillon shared a series of screen recordings that appear to contradict Diljit's assertion. In the first clip, captioned "before," Dhillon shows how a fan sent him a link to Diljit's profile, but he was unable to access it due to an error message. He wryly noted that Diljit's fans might not be aware that a block can be lifted. However, in a subsequent clip captioned "after," Dhillon demonstrates how he was able to view Diljit's profile after clicking on the link, accompanied by laughing emojis. Dhillon also tagged Diljit in the post, seemingly calling him out. Additionally, Dhillon expressed his reluctance to engage in the public feud, stating that he wasn't planning to speak out, but felt compelled to set the record straight.

Dhillon further added, “From the AP Dhillon team. We're the last ones to overpromote or misguide fans. We do what we love and let the people be the judges... and trust me I know we're not perfect. So when our name is brought up in the name of unity, let's at least be supporting each other behind the scenes too and not just do and say things to prop up an image. This paid media and PR game, while commendable, has everyone fooled. If you think anyone in this game is doing anything for anyone other than themselves, think again.”

Badshah Calls Out For ‘Unity’

On Monday, Badshah took to his Instagram account and called for unity. He wrote, “Please don’t make the mistakes that we made. The world is ours for the taking. Like they say, ‘If you wanna go fast, go alone, but if you wanna go far, go together.' United we stand.”
