Happy birthday singer-rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh: A look at his latest releases

NEW DELHI: Yo Yo Honey Singh is one of the most successful rappers in Bollywood and is credited with introducing hip-hop music to Bollywood. His real name is Hirdesh Singh but most people know him by his stage name. 

Owing to his talent, Honey Singh has seen immense success in his career but not many people know that the star singer-composer has had his share of struggles too. In 2014, at the peak of his singing career, Honey Singh disappeared from the music scene, before making a comeback the following year, but mostly avoided the media. In March 2016, he attributed his 18 month long absence from the public to his bipolar disorder. However, the singer made his comeback in 2018, and since then has continued creating hit songs and videos.
