== Controversies ==
In the aftermath of the [[2012 Delhi gang rape case]], the lyrics to some of his songs, which depict violence against women and rape positively, have caused controversy. A [[first information report]] (FIR) was lodged against Singh for his offensive lyrics, and a group of social activists filed an online petition demanding cancellation of his New Year performance at a [[Gurgaon]] hotel. After the campaign, Singh's New Year concert was cancelled by the hotel. Singh denies writing these offensive lyrics.

Singh's song "Party All Night" in [[Akshay Kumar]]'s film ''[[Boss (2013 Hindi film)|Boss]]'' was at the centre of a controversy. Producers of the movie had to submit a petition in [[Delhi High Court]] claiming that they had 'muted' an alleged vulgar word in Singh's song. The court heard a petition filed by lawyer Sanjay Bhatnagar seeking a stay on the film, contending that without the censor board's approval, the song could not be released with such a vulgar word. The petitioner had sought a stay on the release of the film until either the word or the song was deleted from the film.

His work has been criticised as being [[Profanity|vulgar]], [[Misogyny|misogynist]], promoting [[violence against women]] and a bad influence on youth. There have been reactions in print to Singh, such as from [[Annie Zaidi (writer)|Annie Zaidi]], who wrote  "[[An Open Letter to Honey Singh]]" in January 2013, and Sandipan Sharma, who wrote "Thanks for the crassness: An open letter to Honey Singh from a parent" in July 2014.

In 2014, Singh and fellow rapper [[Raftaar (Singer)|Raftaar]] were in dispute over whether Raftaar should receive credit for the lyrics of the song "Yeh Fugly Fugly Kya Hai".

In 2015, a student of [[St. Stephen's College, Delhi|St. Stephen's College]] went viral for a rap that parodied Singh's problematic songs from a feminist perspective.
