Rapper-singer Yo Yo Honey Singh has denied singing the controversial track Volume 1 during proceedings in the Delhi High Court, leading the court to direct him to submit an affidavit clarifying his stand. The case surrounding the song has sparked massive debate online after the court earlier ordered the removal of the track from digital platforms over its allegedly obscene and derogatory lyrics.

The controversy began after a petition filed by Hindu Shakti Dal sought a ban on the song, claiming that its lyrics were vulgar, offensive towards women and inappropriate for public circulation. After hearing the matter, Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav strongly criticised the content of the song and ordered its immediate removal from online platforms, including YouTube, Spotify and social media websites.
