Yo Yo Honey Singh has candidly discussed a challenging period during his rise to fame, where he struggled with drug abuse, arrogance, and inner emptiness.
In a recent podcast appearance, the singer reflected on his early 2010s success, stating that despite achieving popularity, he felt broken inside and "in darkness." He confessed that from 2011 to 2014, he was not in his senses, experiencing a "demonic state of mind" fueled by money, fame, and substance abuse.
Honey Singh also recalled receiving repeated warnings from prominent Bollywood figures like Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar. They reportedly advised him to avoid unhealthy habits, with Khan specifically telling him his lifestyle would "spoil you, finish you, and destroy you."
Despite his struggles, Singh does not blame the industry or fame, taking full responsibility for his actions and mindset during that time. He has since returned to music, releasing albums like "Glory" in 2024.
