In a fresh legal controversy, actress Neetu Chandra has filed a petition in the High Court against rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh, demanding a ban on his latest song, “Maniac.” She claims the lyrics are offensive and degrade societal values, negatively influencing the younger generation.
This isn’t the first time Honey Singh has faced backlash for his lyrics. In 2013, the Delhi High Court ordered the removal of vulgar content from one of his songs, and in 2019, the Punjab State Women Commission demanded a ban on “Makhna” due to explicit lyrics. With “Maniac” now under scrutiny, the debate over artistic freedom vs. social responsibility is reigniting.

Which Song is Under Fire?
The controversy centers around Honey Singh’s latest track, “Maniac,” which features a viral Bhojpuri hook by Ragini Vishwakarma. The specific lyrics in question are:
“Didiya Ke Dawara Chadhaule bate nazari,
Choli ke chijuriya, chikhal chahe Jabari”
Originally penned by Arjun Ajnabi, these lines gained massive popularity and even hit No. 1 on Billboard.
Why Has a Case Been Filed?
Neetu Chandra argues that “Maniac” promotes vulgarity and corrupts societal morals, influencing young listeners negatively. She has urged the High Court to ban the song.
What is Honey Singh’s Response?
As of now, Yo Yo Honey Singh has not officially responded to the case. However, given his history with similar legal battles, fans are eagerly waiting for his statement.

Will ‘Maniac’ Be Banned?
The legitimacy of the case remains debatable. Many critics point out that Bhojpuri music has far more explicit lyrics, yet no similar action is taken against them. They argue that entertainment should be viewed as entertainment, rather than being policed for morality.
As the High Court prepares to review the case, all eyes are on whether “Maniac” will face a ban or continue its chart-topping success.
