The Rapper - known to fans as Shubh - has previously been in controversies over the issue.
In September, his after a row over an old Social Media post where he had shared an incorrect map of India. He was accused of supporting the demand for Khalistan, or a separate Sikh Homeland - which had led to a violent insurgency in India in the 1980s. At The Time , he had asked his critics to " refrain from naming every Punjabi as a separatist or anti-national".
