American singer Post Malone has sparked controversy after using an expletive while referring to Assamese music icon Zubeen Garg during a recent live performance in Guwahati. In his address to the audience, Post Malone stated, “So to be in the home of the great and fucking legendary Zubeen tonight.” Although meant as a compliment, the remark has ignited strong reactions on social media.
Many Assam-based netizens expressed their outrage, arguing that international artists should respect local culture when performing. They believe that casually using offensive language in reference to a respected figure like Zubeen Garg is inappropriate.
The discussions quickly heated up online, with some users calling for global performers to familiarize themselves with local sentiments before making public statements. Conversely, a number of supporters defended the singer, suggesting that his use of profanity was intended to convey enthusiasm in a manner typical of Western concerts.
Despite the divided opinions, the incident has prompted a larger conversation about cultural sensitivity and the responsibilities of international artists while performing in India. As the debate unfolds, many hope this episode will lead to a greater awareness and appreciation of Assam’s rich cultural heritage among visiting global performers.
