UK considers ban on Honey Singh and Mehwish Hayat
The UK is thinking about banning Indian rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh and Pakistani actor Mehwish Hayat from entering the country.
Their music video "Jatt Mehkma," which shows kids with fake guns, has sparked concern after going viral with nearly 40 million views since November 2023.
Complaint filed with Home Office
UK MP Manuela Perteghella filed a complaint with the Home Office, worried about kids being shown imitating gang violence.
Authorities are now considering exclusion orders that could keep Singh and Hayat out if they're seen as a risk to public good.
Video glorifies violence,...
The video is being reviewed for possibly breaking UK laws on child protection.
Shaykh Paul Salahuddin Armstrong called out the video for glorifying violence and pushed for an investigation into how children were used.
Production company responds, artists stay quiet
The UK-based production team says it only handled logistics.
Neither Singh nor Hayat have commented yet, but Hayat's reps declined to issue any comments.
