MUMBAI: Celebrating Helo's second anniversary, Yo Yo Honey Singh recently went live on the platform and got candid with his fans. On being asked how did he decide to be 'Yo Yo Honey Singh' and not just 'Honey Singh', “I never decided my career to begin with. I started rapping for a few Punjabi songs at the start of my career, that time my name was printed as Honey Singh only. It was when I came up with the song 'Brown Rang, I decided to add 'Yo Yo' before my name”. 

Spending his lockdown time in creating more music, the Lungi-dance rapper said,” I feel in this current scenario, away from the hustle and bustle of life, we have become more creative. Main acha time spend kar raha hun apne studios mein and so is my team in their respective studios. I'm working on a lot of songs in this lockdown period and will release it soon. I'm also thinking of releasing an album this summer. Kaafi gaane ban gaye hai. Now after Desi Kalakaar, its time for another album.” 

When asked about his most popular song 'Dheere Dheere Se', Yo Yo said, ”Its been 5 years since the song "Dheere Dheere Se" was released, I had composed the song in the worst phase of my health. I had recorded the entire song on my phone. I was awarded with a GIMA award for this."  The rapper has always credited his fans to be his biggest source of motivation. “Whenever I release my new song, the love that I get from them makes me want to work harder”, he said.
