  • 'Is Bollywood Rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh Suffering from Depression?

    It has been reported that well-loved Bollywood rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh may be suffering from depression. Following a long period of hibernation, a buzz about Singh suffering from depression has surfaced. Singh has not been without his own media controversy lately. Soon after emerging as a popular mentor on Star Plus’s reality show "India’s Raw Star," the singer suffered a back injury during Shah Rukh Khan’s Slam! The Tour in September. Unfortunately, he had to miss a few concerts and was advised complete bed rest for 45 days. Since then, Singh has canceled all show and "India’s Raw Star" replaced him with Himesh Reshammiya. While it is still unclear whether or not he actually is suffering from clinical depression, reportedly the singer had a violent argument with a popular Bollywood personality. Apparently, the argument heated up to an extent that the actor slapped Singh. Many believe this incident sank him deeper into hibernation. A post on Singh's Facebook page states: “Dear well wishers and Fans, it's true that your desikalakar has not been keeping well and will be out of action for a while. Due to his illness, he has been advised strict bed rest. As a family, we are really thankful to a lot of people for supporting him and us during his illness. He shall be back real soon to do what he does best, i.e to entertain you all. Keep him in your prayers and keep supporting and loving apka apna Yo Yo Honey Singh.”
  • 'Prestigious Guildhall School of Music and Drama Admits First Rapper

    With the burgeoning awaking of classical music hitting youth around the nation, the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, one of the world’s leading music conservatories, has just admitted its first rapper, according to Noisey. The student is Jack Derbyshire, 25, who began rapping around age 14 under the solo moniker Jakaboski and within a collective called Strangelove. “I heard about Guildhall and the Leadership program through a friend,” he said. “I then met the course leaders for a chat and it went from there. The audition was tough. I was insecure about my lack of musical training, but it must have gone all right because I'm here now, right?” After impressing the examiners, Derbyshire was invited to join the Masters in Leadership program, a two-year course which encourages musicians to work with aspiring performers in their local community.
