Andrew Tate’s racist jab at Diljit Dosanjh backfires
At a recent stop in New Delhi for his Dil-Luminati tour, singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh created an unforgettable moment by handing his jacket to a fan mid-performance, delighting the crowd and adding a personal touch that fans adored. While many celebrated this generous move, not everyone shared the sentiment. Infamous internet provocateur Andrew Tate decided to chime in with a racist remark, tweeting, “Bet it stinks of curry.”
Diljit, known for his cool composure, chose not to respond to the comment, instead focusing on his tour and fan engagements. But his supporters and fellow artists were quick to step in, among them Adnan Sami, who took a stand against Tate’s prejudice with a powerful retort. Sami’s clapback, which has since gone viral, went straight to the point: “Wrong. It smelled of love, and the best part was that none of the audience members were rapists or child traffickers like what you’re accused of and arrested for.”
Sami’s response resonated deeply with Dosanjh’s fanbase, and Instagram users flooded the comments, thanking him for addressing Tate’s hateful remark head-on. “A fool won’t know the scent of love,” wrote one fan, while others praised Sami for confronting racism directly and defending the beloved Punjab da munda.
For those unfamiliar with Tate’s controversial track record, he has made a name for himself by promoting misogyny and glorifying his so-called “alpha” lifestyle, while frequently facing backlash for his offensive remarks. His troubles go beyond online toxicity; in 2023, Tate was hit with serious legal charges, including human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and money laundering. Currently under house arrest, he remains the subject of a second investigation probing his alleged involvement in organized crime and exploitation.
Meanwhile, Dosanjh’s heartwarming connection with fans was far from over. Following his Delhi performance, Air India surprised the singer with an extraordinary tribute: an entire plane dedicated to his tour, adorned with his Dil-Luminati logo and images from his concerts. Dosanjh shared this unexpected gift on Instagram, expressing gratitude to his fans across India who made the tour a resounding success.
In a world filled with Tate’s toxic antics, Dosanjh’s focus on spreading positivity, both on stage and beyond, is a refreshing reminder of the power of genuine fan love.
