Renowned Indian singer Sonu Nigam recently ended up losing his cool as he schooled a fan during his concert at the East Point College in Bengaluru. A video is going insanely viral on social media, in which Sonu Nigam can be seen telling the crowd that he has a lot of love for Kannadigas. However, he was threatened “rudely” by a boy to sing in Kannada. “I have sung songs in all languages. But the best songs that I have sung in my life are Kannada songs,” he said.
Sonu Nigam added, “Main aapke beech mein jabbhi aata hoon bohut pyaar se aata hoon. Shows toh roz karte hain humlog, lekin jab kabhi bhi Karnataka mein kahi bhi shows hote hain hum bohut izzat se aate hai kyuki aap logo nein humien apna pariwaar maan hai.”
It was then that he revealed how a fan threatened him to sing in Kannada. “Mujhe accha nahi laga ki waha ek ladka jiski umar, jitni uske umar nahi hogi use pehle toh main Kannada gaane garaha hoon,” he stated.
“He was so rudely threatening me, 'Kannada, Kannada'. Yahi kaaran hai, Pahalgam mein jo hua hai na? Yahi kaaran hai jo karrahe ho, jo kiya tha na abhi? Dekho toh kaun saamne khada hai. I love Kannadigas, I love you guys,” he added.

Sonu Nigam also spoke about how he always performs something in Kannada even if only one Kannadiga fan is present during his performance.
“Main puri duniya mein jaha bhi jata hoon, main humesha bolta hoon main, sabko bolta hoon main...14,000 ki audience hog usme ek awaaz aati hai, 'Kannada'. Toh main unke liye, us ek Kannadiga k liye main kuch line Kannadiga k gaata hoon. Main itni izzat karta hoon aapki, itna pyaar karta hoon. So thoda sa rehna chahiye, aesa nahi karna chahiye aapko,” he said.
