Don’t you dare mess with me: In new video, Sonu Nigam warns T Series’ Bhushan Kumar

New Delhi: Singer Sonu Nigam took to social media to speak about the pressure young musicians have to go through in Bollywood. He tagged Bhushan as the mafia of the music industry. In his new vlog, Nigam has accused Kumar of mentally exploiting the singers and ganging up against him. The singer captioned the post as, “Laaton ke mafia baaton se nahi maante”.
“Do you remember the times you would come to my house requesting me to record an album for you? ‘Brother, record Deewana for me. Introduce me to Smita Thackeray and Bal Thackeray. Save me from Abu Salem’. Don’t mess with me, I am warning you”, said Sonu in the video.

Sonu revealed that Bhushan used to beg in front him for signing music albums and would also ask for help to get rid of threats from underworld gangster Abu Salem. He further said, “Tu bhul gaya woh time jab tu mere ghar pe aake… ‘bhai bhai meri album kar do. Bhai ‘Deewana’ kar do. Bhai, Smita Thackeray se milwa do, Bal Thackeray se milwa do.
Abu Salem se bacha lo. Abu Salem galiyaan de raha hai’… yaad hai na? Yaad hai ki nahi yeh sab cheezein? Main tujhe keh raha hoon mere muh mat lagna ab tu bas. (Do you remember the time when you used to come to my home requesting me… ‘brother record an album for me. Brother, record Deewana for me. Brother, introduce me to Smita Thackeray and Bal Thackeray. Save me from Abu Salem. Abu Salem is abusing me’… do you remember? Don’t mess with me, I am warning you).”
Sonu Nigam also referred to a report by Times of India, that quoted Amaal Malik, Sachet Tandon, Jubin Nautiyal, Rochak Kohli, Manoj Muntashir and Rashmi Virag as challenging Sonu’s views and saying that while nepotism might be prevalent in the film industry, the music industry is purely based on talent, merit and luck. Sonu recalled an old tweet of Amaal’s wherein he had called out the music industry for not being united.
