Yo Yo Honey Singh

Hirdesh Singh (born 15 March 1983), known professionally as Yo Yo Honey Singh, is an Indian singer, rapper, record producer and actor. He is credited with popularizing hip-hop and rap with the mainstream Indian audience. Much of his transgressive work during the late 2000s and early 2010s made him a controversial figure. Singh commenced his career as a hip-hop music producer with his underground album Desi By Nature (2003), subsequently working as a session and recording artist within the underground music scene for other artists until the release of his debut studio album, International Villager (2011). In 2012, after the album's success and his mainstream breakout, he set a record as the highest paid Indian artist by charging 75 lakh INR for a track in Bollywood. As of 2025, he is the richest Indian rapper. He released further singles that charted and released his second studio album Desi Kalakaar (2014). After its success, Singh took a musical hiatus due in part to struggle with bipolar disorder with psychosis caused by alcoholism and drug abuse. After a brief recovery in 2016 followed by a relapse, he returned to the music industry with the release of his single "Makhna" (2018), which was well received. He released his albums Honey 3.0 (2023) followed by Glory (2024), the latter accompanied by the lead single "Millionaire", which exceeded 300 million views on YouTube in less than 7 months and more than 150 million Spotify streams. Singh's nickname growing up was "Honey". "Yo Yo" came from Singh picking up the slang from his African-American hip-hop friends, which means "your very own" in African American Vernacular English. Singh added "Yo Yo" to his name professionally, after winning an award in Punjab during his early career. He interpret's the name to mean "your very own Honey Singh". Singh stated that the name indicates that he is "one amongst the people and is the people's artist".
