When we heard rapper Dino James's first song Girlfriend (which released two years ago but has picked up pace now; it has 13 million views), we were disturbed to say the least. It's written from the point of view of a man whose girlfriend has left him, and he is venting about the cruel and savage ways women con men.
They are gold-diggers, and c***-teasers, and s**ts. "But it's not a generalisation. Can you deny some girls are like that? My songs stem from some personal experiences. But, I have also sat at many coffee shops in Mumbai and noticed couples, and my friends and I would often try to figure who is the alpha from the duo. It's about those observations that, to be honest, are exaggerated in the songs," says the 31-year-old who hails from Kerala but was born and brought up in Bhopal.
