Singer-rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh, a prominent figure in the Indian music industry, has been no stranger to controversy. In recent years, the artist has frequently made headlines, not for his chart-topping hits, but for his alleged struggles with substance abuse. However, Singh has recently taken to clarifying these issues, shedding light on the truth behind the rumours and his journey toward mental well-being.
Last year, during a candid podcast interview, Honey Singh mentioned attending rehab and distancing himself from Satan worship. These revelations sparked widespread media coverage and public speculation about his personal life. However, Singh has since refuted these claims, labelling the rumours as "the most absurd" he has ever encountered.
When confronted about his supposed stint in a rehab centre, Singh categorically denied the allegations. “Rumors about me going to a rehab centre are the most absurd claims I have heard about myself,” he stated. Addressing how he became involved with substance abuse, Singh revealed that influential figures in his life played a significant role. “Few names, few very big and influential names. They had teased me. I was so badly addicted to these substances that I was always high. Most of the time, I was unaware of myself and my surroundings,” he explained.
Singh further elaborated on his recovery journey, emphasizing that he never required formal rehabilitation to overcome his addictions. “I emphasized that I never required rehabilitation to overcome my addictions. I had quit liquor, hashish, and other substances, informing my family about the mental health issues that demanded immediate attention and treatment,” he shared. Despite warnings from his family about potential legal repercussions from international law firms due to his demanding schedule, Singh chose to prioritize his health. “Still, I prioritized my health and refused to work until I received proper care. The recovery process took seven long years,” he added.

He credited several high-profile friends for their unwavering support during his darkest times. Deepika Padukone, Shah Rukh Khan (SRK), and Akshay Kumar are notable among them.
Singh highlighted Deepika Padukone’s pivotal role in his recovery. “Sabne bahut support kia. Jab main bilkul kharab hua to samajh nahi aaraha tha kis doctor ke paas jayein. Deepika ko same to nahi problem hui thi, unko laga meri jaisi problem hai, mera case bahut serious tha. Deepika ne gharwalo ko ek doctor Delhi mein suggest kia, unke pas gaya main,” he recounted, expressing deep gratitude for her assistance in connecting him with medical professionals.
Moreover, Singh acknowledged the continuous support from SRK and Akshay Kumar. “Shah Rukh bhai ne kafi support kia, Akshay paji ke phone aate they. Main phone pe bhi baat nahi karta tha. 5 sal maine phone pe baat nahi ki kisi se, 3 saal maine television nahi dekha. Running information mujhe trigger karti thi,” he revealed. Their persistent check-ins and concern played a crucial role in his sustained recovery.
