On March 27, Neha Kakkar broke her silence regarding the ongoing controversy and shared her harrowing experience with the sponsors. The singer penned a lengthy note on her Instagram, which read, "They said I came 3 hours late, did they even ask once what happened to me? What did they do to me or my band? When I spoke on stage, I didn’t tell anyone what happened because I didn’t want anyone to get harmed; who am I to punish anyone? But now that this has come up with my name, I had to speak up. Do you know I performed absolutely free for my Melbourne audience?"
She continued, "The sponsors ran away with my money and others’ money too. My band wasn’t even given food, hotel, or even water. My husband and his boys went and provided them with food. Despite all this, we still went on stage and did the show without any rest because my fans were waiting for me, for hours. The organizers stopped picking up my manager's calls because they were running away from the sponsors and everyone."
After Neha's claims, Beats Production, the concert organizers, shared a detailed expense report for her performances in Sydney and Melbourne on its Instagram handle, alleging that they had been prohibited from playing in the Margaret Court Arena because of her 'unprofessionalism.'
