After the killing of Mexico’s most wanted cartel leader triggered violent unrest across the country, rapper-singer Yo Yo Honey Singh, who was in the country, shared an update about his well-being and said that he is safe in Mexico and flying back home. The musician, known for belting out hits such as Angrezi Beat, Brown Rang, and Millionaire, shared the update on his social media handle, confirming he is safe.

Honey Singh took to Instagram, where he shared a picture of himself standing next to a chartered plane. “Thnk u guys for all ur concern! M safe in Mexico just flying back home #harharmahadev,” he wrote.



For those unversed, Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes, head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, was killed in a Mexican military operation that US officials said was aided by American intelligence. Highways have been blocked, vehicles torched, and American tourists stranded in resort cities, including Puerto Vallarta, after the killing of Mexico’s most wanted cartel leader.

After the incident, Mexican authorities reported 85 roadblocks and dozens of attacks against security forces. More than 25 security personnel and one civilian were killed in the violence, while over 30 suspected cartel members were killed and 70 detained, officials said.

The death of Oseguera raises fears of a succession battle within the powerful cartel. Analysts told US media that internal rivalries could fuel further instability, particularly in Jalisco, a state set to host matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

About Honey Singh

Honey Singh, whose real name is Hirdesh Singh, made his mark on the music scene with the release of his Punjabi album International Villager in 2011. The 42-year-old rapper sang his first Hindi song in Mastan. His popularity surged on YouTube, with two of his videos, Brown Rang and High Heels, ranking among the top-trending videos that year. In 2024, Singh launched his album Glory, featuring 18 tracks. In December 2024, a documentary titled Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous was released on Netflix.

The singer was recently in the news after his sleazy comment during a Delhi concert. A video clip from the event, widely shared on social media, showed him speaking about having sex in a car during Delhi’s peak winter, which sparked widespread backlash over the crude language used. The outrage prompted Singh to issue an apology video on Instagram.
