Hours after Punjabi-Canadian singer-rapper Shubh issued a statement on the cancellation of his India tour, AP Dhillon has shared a message about 'spreading love and not hate'. Taking to Instagram Stories, Dhillon wrote, ‘I try to stay out of all the social mania as it is clear to me that regardless of what I say or do, it is a lost cause... someone, somewhere is going to spin the narrative to their liking and create more division. As an artist it has become almost impossible to stay focussed on your craft and do what you love. I try to be mindful of everyone's sentiments but it has gotten to a point where we have to second and triple guess our every move due to fear of unintentionally fuelling even more division.’
The singer, who has been living in Canada since 2015, and recently visited India, further wrote, ‘Special interest and political groups constantly use our (artists') public image as a chess piece to further their agenda, while we are just trying to make art that helps people on individual level, regardless of their colour, race, religion, nationality, gender etc.’
Concluding his post, AP Dhillon wrote, ‘Spread love not hate. Let's start thinking for ourselves and not let hateful influences program our beliefs. We are ALL one. let's not let man-made social constructs divide us. Division has gotten us to this point but unity is the key to the future...’
Shubh's Still Rollin India Tour was cancelled over his alleged support to the Khalistan cause.
Meanwhile, a statement of support for Shubh was shared by late Sidhu Moose Wala's Instagram page.
