Honey Singh backs out at the last moment from his performance due to security issues

Due to security concerns, rapper-singer Honey Singh canceled his performance at a recent award show in Mohali, Punjab. Despite arriving at the venue, he withdrew at the last minute after his security team was denied entry. According to India Today, the denial stemmed from the size of Singh's security detail, with organizers citing their own security arrangements and the presence of the Punjab police. However, Singh chose to back out due to the disagreement.

“As per the protocols, they did not allow any other external members on the ground for anyone. However, Honey Singh was persistent in getting his own safety unit as a precautionary measure. While the organisers understood and respected his demands, given the overall security plans, they could not agree to it. After a long discussion with the organisers, the musician left the venue, refusing to perform," a source cited by India Today claimed.

As of now, neither Honey Singh nor his team has released a statement regarding the incident, which reportedly occurred on August 23.
