MUMBAI : Yo Yo Honey Singh is a singer-rapper with a quite contentious past. Honey has been in the news a lot lately, mostly for the negative reasons—substance abuse in particular. Honey Singh had admitted going into rehab after discussing it in a podcast last year. The singer had even acknowledged leaving Satan worship. Honey spoke about his problems with drug addiction and how they had damaged his family. He also mentioned how this nearly caused him to divorce Shalini Talwar.
The most ludicrous things he has heard about himself, according to him, are the reports that he is attending a rehab facility. When asked how he first became involved in substance misuse, Honey Singh responded that a lot of powerful people encouraged him to do so.
He said, “Few names, few very big and influential names. They had teased me. I was so badly addicted to these substances that I was always high. Most of the time, I was unaware of myself and my surroundings.”
He further stated, “I emphasized that I never required rehabilitation to overcome my addictions. I had quit liquor, hashish, and other substances, informing my family about the mental health issues that demanded immediate attention and treatment. My family warned me about potential legal repercussions from international law firms due to my demanding schedule. Still, I prioritized my health and refused to work until I received proper care. The recovery process took seven long years.”
Speaking of his former wife Shalini, Honey said, “Our relationship wasn’t very good at that time. There was a distance between us because I was travelling a lot. Things were good for the initial 9–10 months of our marriage. But then success and fame got to my head. When that happened, I neglected my family and completely lost myself in money, fame, addiction, and women. I did terrible things. I almost left Shalini and forgot about the family.”
