In a recent candid chat, rapper and singer Honey Singh opened up about his Netflix documentary Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous and how the streaming platform paid him a “fat” amount for sharing his life story.
The documentary, which dives deep into his personal life, including his struggle with bipolar disorder, has been a significant moment in Singh’s career, offering fans a look beyond the glitz and glam. When asked about the payment for the project during an interaction with Curly Tales, Honey Singh joked, “These Netflix guys came to me and said they want to shoot a documentary on my life, and they paid me fat, so I said, ‘Okay. No problem. If you pay me more, I will tell you more.’”

Honey Singh Reflects on Delhi Audience and Independent Music
When reflecting on his concert experiences, Singh expressed a deep affection for his Delhi roots, saying, “Delhi crowd is crazy. Mumbai is also good, but Delhi is special because I am from Delhi and they know me, like it’s our neighbour, our brother on stage. They have seen my journey.”
Despite his Bollywood fame and major hits, Singh revealed his preference for independent music over Bollywood collaborations, highlighting how it was his independent journey that defined him. “Bollywood happened to me as a compliment in my life,” Singh shared, thanking the likes of Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Amitabh Bachchan for their support.
