B Praak cancels BeerBiceps’ podcast amid Ranveer Allahbadia controversy

Singer B Praak has decided to withdraw from an upcoming appearance on BeerBiceps' podcast following backlash against YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia.

The singer shared a video on his Instagram, announcing his decision and expressing disappointment over the content promoted by Allahbadia.

In the video, B Praak strongly condemned the offensive remarks and crass jokes. He revealed that he had initially agreed to appear on the podcast but opted out due to the "pathetic thinking" and "offensive language" being promoted.

"Radhe Radhe, doston! Kaise ho aap sab? Main na yaar, ek podcast mein jaane wala tha abhi, jo BeerBiceps ka tha, par humne cancel kar diya. Kyun? Kyunki aapko pata hai ki waha kaisi pathetic thinking hai aur kaise shabd use kiye ja rahe hain? Samay Raina ke show pe jo ho raha hai, yeh hamara Indian culture nahi hai. Yeh bilkul bhi hamara culture nahi hai," B Praak said in the video.

Criticizing the discussions on the show, the singer questioned how such content could be categorized as comedy.

"Aap apne parents ki kaunsi stories bata rahe ho? Aap unki kaunsi baatein kar rahe ho? Kis tareeke se baatein kar rahe ho? Yeh comedy hai? This is not at all comedy! Yeh stand-up comedy toh bilkul bhi nahi hai. Logon ko gaaliyan dena, logon ko gaaliyan sikhana--yeh kaunsi generation hai? Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha ki yeh generation kaunsi hai?"

B Praak also called out Ranveer Allahbadia, questioning how his actions contradicted his usual advocacy for "Sanatan Dharma and spirituality."

"Aur yeh Ranveer Allahbadia, aap Sanatan Dharma ko promote karte ho, spirituality ki baat karte ho. Aapke podcast pe itne bade-bade log aate hain, itne bade sant aate hain, aur fir bhi aapki soch itni ghatiya hai?" he added.

The controversy erupted after Ranveer Allahbadia made indecent and offensive comments on 'India's Got Latent,' which quickly went viral and sparked widespread outrage. His remark, "Would you rather watch your parents... or join in once and stop it forever?" was heavily criticized for being inappropriate and distasteful.

Following the backlash, Allahbadia issued a public apology, acknowledging that his comments were "inappropriate" and admitting to a "lapse in judgment."

Meanwhile, YouTube has removed the controversial 'India's Got Latent' episode featuring Allahbadia’s remarks. Additionally, the Guwahati Police have registered a case against him and four others for promoting obscenity.
