'Not on twitter for 8 years...': Sonu Nigam warns fans about fake account misusing his name
The singer, on Monday, took to his Instagram to share a clear message with his followers, asking them to stay alert and report any suspicious activity, urging fans to "block and report" any fake accounts that send messages using his name.
"I just wanted to take a moment to clarify something important. If you come across any suspicious/fake messages under my name, it would be great if you could report or block the account. Thank you, everyone, for your support and understanding," read the first slide of his post.
"Please note that no one from my team has ever reached out to anyone on my behalf for any reason. If someone claims to be from my management and contacts you out of the blue, please treat it with caution!" he added.
Stating that he has not been active on Twitter/X for several years, the singer wrote, "Also, I have NOT been on Twitter/X for the last 8 years. A few accounts that people may believe to be mine are actually being run by someone else, often posting controversial things under my name."
"If you come across such fake accounts or messages, please REPORT AND BLOCK," read the last slide.

This is not the first time the singer has spoken about the issue. Earlier this year, Sonu Nigam posted about a verified account on X (formerly Twitter) using the name "Sonu Nigam Singh." Sharing a poster of the fake account, he wrote, "I am not on Twitter or X. Can you imagine a single controversial post from this Sonu Nigam Singh could put me or my family's life in danger? Can you imagine to what extent this man has been playing with my name and credibility? For no fault of ours. And the press, administration, government, law, who know about this, are all quiet. Waiting for something to happen and then convey condolences. Thank you."

Who is Utsav Dahiya? Inside the life of Apoorva Mukhija's ex whose viral song has set the internet ablaze with cheating jibes
The Rebel Kid of the internet, Apoorva Mukhija, has once again found herself in the middle of controversy, this time because of Utsav Dahiya. On Sunday, August 17, Dahiya dropped his original track Cute Little Red Flag on Instagram, and it's spreading like wildfire. But who exactly is Utsav Dahiya, and what has he done to spark this storm? The allegations In his latest Instagram post, Dahiya shared his original track Cute Little Red Flag a title that itself seemed like a playful nod to a phrase Mukhija often uses in her popular storytime videos. Alongside the song, he posted a long note where he appeared to take indirect shots at the creator. Without naming her directly, Dahiya hinted at being misrepresented for content, writing, 'If you continue spreading nonsense, I'll release the receipts. Don't use fabricated stories to gain sympathy or push false narratives for content. Having a large following doesn't give you the right to bully others by rage-baiting your audience.' The lyrics of the track also seemed to echo this sentiment. In one line, he sings: 'Pucha maine ghatiya kyun bola mujhe duniya ke liye, kehti baby yeh toh sab dhandha hai mere liye.' The word suggested a video where, after their breakup, Mukhija's made a lighthearted video with Anupam Mittal and called her ex-partners 'ghatiya log,' which drew significant backlash toward him. Moreover, her videos often featured references to 'toxic boyfriends' which many online assumed were aimed at Dahiya , even though she never took his name. In the song, he also claimed that after being labeled a cheater and abuser in Mukhija's videos, he tried reaching out to her and her management but was brushed off. According to him, the response he got was, 'You're a nobody, be grateful you even dated her.' He countered this in his track, saying 'I was told, 'You're a nobody, you should be happy you got to date her.' Well, here's a message from that 'nobody': I'm still here, still standing. Your numbers might mean something on an app, but truth doesn't need followers.' Who is Utsav Dahiya? Apart from being a content creator with 74.6K followers on Instagram, where he regularly shares travel and music videos, Dahiya is also an investment banker. According to his LinkedIn, he has been working with Morgan Stanley since 2019, starting as an analyst before being promoted to associate in 2022. In February 2025, he took on his current role as associate at the firm in Sydney. Dahiya grew up in Mumbai, and he pursued Electronics and Communications Engineering at PEC University of Technology, Chandigarh (2014–2018).

South Korean vlogger flashes ‘peace sign' in Turkey, told by locals it means something else: ‘Most fragile nation'
A South Korean traveller's innocent selfie gesture in Turkey has turned into a viral talking point online. Content creator Tyongee was visiting the country when she struck a typical peace-sign pose for the camera. But almost immediately, two men stopped her and told her that the gesture was not acceptable in Turkey. In her Instagram post sharing the clip, she admitted, 'I did not know at all! It's amazing how I get to learn a new culture and manner whenever I travel.' In the video, the men explain that while the V-sign means 'peace' in many countries, in Turkey it is associated with terrorism. One of them tells her, 'In your culture, it means peace, but unfortunately in Turkey, it is raised about terrorism,' leaving her surprised. Curious, she then asks if making a finger-heart–another popular Korean gesture–is fine, and the men say yes. A post shared by Tyongeee 툥이 (@tyongeee) The clip has stirred debate among viewers. Some Turkish users online clarified that the peace sign isn't officially banned, but it carries sensitive associations. One person wrote, 'I'll explain: this sign is, of course, originally the peace sign. However, in our country, since it is often used by terrorist kurds, it has left a negative impression on the Turkish public. It is not banned, but its use is generally frowned upon, and people may look at you differently. For years, the terrorist kurds who have caused us great suffering in our country have unfortunately tainted this beautiful sign for us and made it evoke negative feelings. Thank you for your understanding.' Others, however, pushed back. A Turkish commenter said, 'As a Turkish, I never heard that sign is banned:) they just made it up… We use it and it's super common.' Another quipped, 'I ain't doing any signs if I'm traveling internationally.' Many viewers appreciated the respectful way both sides handled the situation, with one remarking, 'They were respectful, the girl was respectful, that's how people should talk every time.'
