The online feud between Yadav and Thakur began with posts shared by Thakur concerning Yadav's interactions with Munawar Faruqui, another Bigg Boss winner. Elvish Yadav and Munawar Faruqui participated in the opening match of the Indian Street Premier League, alongside notable figures such as Sachin Tendulkar and Akshay Kumar. Yadav's association with Faruqui drew criticism from his followers, particularly due to Faruqui's past legal issues related to remarks about Hindu deities.

Thakur further exacerbated tensions by labelling Yadav as a "hypocrite" in one of his posts. Yadav responded by reminding Thakur of his residence in Delhi, indicating a verbal exchange that preceded the physical altercation.
