Raftaar addresses MTV Hustle controversy, calls for calm amidst Rohan Cariappa’s YouTube Channel shut down

Indian rapper and MTV Hustle judge, Raftaar, has broken his silence on the ongoing controversy surrounding the show. The reality music show has been embroiled in a significant backlash after allegations surfaced that it played a role in the shutdown of comedian Rohan Cariappa's YouTube channel.

In a recent video message, Raftaar expressed his concern and support for Cariappa, urging MTV Hustle to maintain a calm and composed approach. He emphasized the importance of the hip-hop community and the need to resolve the issue amicably. Raftaar also acknowledged the hard work and dedication of the young artists participating in the show, urging everyone to focus on their talent and creativity.

The controversy erupted after Rohan Cariappa, known for his satirical take on the show, shared screenshots of multiple strikes on his YouTube channel, indicating its imminent closure. He suggested that his critical videos about the show might have led to this action.

Social media has been abuzz with the hashtag #ShameOnMTVHUSTLE, as fans and supporters of Cariappa voiced their outrage and condemned the alleged silencing of a critic. Many have questioned the show's approach to handling criticism and its impact on the freedom of expression of content creators.

MTV Hustle, a popular platform for aspiring rappers and hip-hop artists, has faced similar controversies in the past. The current season, featuring Raftaar, Badshah, and Ikka as judges, has been marked by intense competition and talent. However, the recent incident has cast a shadow over the show's reputation.

As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how MTV Hustle will address the controversy and whether it will take steps to rectify the situation. Raftaar's call for a peaceful resolution may provide a glimmer of hope for a positive outcome.
