AP Dhillon vs Diljit Dosanjh Controversy: The Punjabi music industry, celebrated for its unity and global success, has been rocked by a public spat between two of its brightest stars—AP Dhillon and Diljit Dosanjh. What began as a moment of mutual respect quickly spiraled into accusations, social media rebuttals, and fan speculation. Here’s everything you need to know about the controversy.

The Beginning: Diljit Dosanjh’s Words of Unity

On December 8, during one of his concerts, Diljit Dosanjh spoke about the rise of Punjabi artists. He lauded AP Dhillon and Karan Aujla for their respective India tours and emphasized, “We are all together.” His comments were seen as a gesture of support, aimed at fostering solidarity within the industry.

AP Dhillon’s Claims

On December 21, during his concert in Chandigarh, AP Dhillon responded to Diljit’s earlier comments. To the surprise of fans, Dhillon alleged that Diljit had blocked him on Instagram, saying, “First unblock me on Instagram and then talk to me.” He also accused Diljit of using such statements as a marketing tactic to boost his image.

The crowd and social media quickly picked up on the remark, with many questioning the origins of the alleged tension.

Diljit Dosanjh’s Swift Response

In response, Diljit Dosanjh took to Instagram to address the claim. He shared a screenshot showing that he follows AP Dhillon on Instagram and denied ever blocking him. His caption read:
"I never unblocked you because I never blocked you. My issues can be with governments, but not with artists."

Diljit’s composed reply was widely praised by his fans, who appreciated his emphasis on maintaining respect within the artist community.

AP Dhillon Shares Evidence

AP Dhillon later doubled down on his allegations. In an Instagram post, he shared a before-and-after video. In the first clip, Dhillon showed proof that he was blocked by Diljit on Instagram. The second clip revealed that he was later unblocked.

Accompanying the videos, Dhillon wrote: "I wasn’t planning on saying shit knowing everyone would hate on me anyways, but at least we know what’s real and what’s not."

This escalated the controversy further, with fans and commentators taking sides.

The Fan Divide

The incident has split fans of the two artists. While some applaud AP Dhillon for calling out what they see as inauthentic behavior, others believe he unnecessarily aired private grievances. Diljit’s supporters argue that his calm and dignified response reflects his maturity as an artist.

Industry Reactions

Prominent figures in the Punjabi music industry have expressed concern over the public nature of the spat. Many are calling for a resolution, highlighting that unity among artists is essential for the industry’s continued growth on a global stage.

What’s Next?

Neither artist has made additional statements since Dhillon’s video post, leaving fans to speculate about whether this feud will continue or be resolved privately.

As the controversy unfolds, it underscores both the power and pitfalls of social media, where even minor disputes can become public spectacles.
