Raja Kumari Backs Emiway Over Sidhu Moosewala Tribute Backlash

Raja Kumari has come forward in strong support of Emiway Bantai after the rapper faced threats for his tribute to the late Sidhu Moosewala. This move by Kumari sends a clear message about defending artistic freedom in the Indian music scene.

Emiway’s tribute was a heartfelt homage to one of the most influential voices in modern Punjabi music. Despite the emotional intent behind the release, it stirred controversy, leading to backlash and threats aimed at Emiway for expressing his admiration.

Raja Kumari responded by saying that every artist has the right to honor those who inspire them, and no one should be silenced or targeted for expressing love and respect. She called Sidhu Moosewala a “legend” and reminded everyone that music should unite, not divide.

This act of solidarity reflects the growing awareness within the Indian hip-hop community about the need to protect creative expression. Whether it’s paying respect to fallen icons or telling raw street stories, artists must be able to speak without fear.

The message is clear: art is emotion, and emotion should never be policed. At Sound of the Streets India, we stand with the artists who keep the culture alive, raw, and real.
