Sonu Nigam has found himself in the middle of yet another controversy. Reports recently claimed that the singer had received some derogatory texts from BMC chief Iqbal Singh Chahal's cousin Rajender. As per news, they both had connected over Sonu performing at a concert.  

After a lot of buzz on the singer receiving threatening messages, Rajender has issued a statement clearing the air. "The difference emerged between Mr Sonu Nigam and Mr Rajender Singh, as Mr Singh resisted working with one person referred to as Rocky and Mr Rehan Siddiqui recommended by Mr Nigam to perform at a concert overseas. Mr Rakesh Kaushal (alias Rocky) and Mr Rehan Siddiqui have been banned by the Ministry of State for Home Affairs, Govt of India," the statement reads.

"The duo have been known for malpractices and supporting Pakistan-based terror groups as reported earlier in media. They are blacklisted based on recommendations of the Consulate General of India. It is against the ethics of Mr. Rajender Singh Pahl to work with Anti-Nationals. He will not work with anti-nationals even if they agree to work for free," the statement further claimed. Also it was denied that he was a cousin of BMC chief, and that they only belonged to the same village.

The statement further had more questions from Rajender Singh Pahl’s side to Sonu Nigam, "Why does he insist that Mr. Rajender Singh Pahl work with those who are banned by The Government of India? Why does he want to work with Anti-national who fund and work with Pakistani terror groups? Does he have commercial ties and links with them?" adding that the ED or the IT department should investigate the money trail of 'terror funding leading to Mr Nigam.' 

Ever since the statement has gone viral, fans are boycotting the singer on social media.
