Mumbai: Rapper and social media personality Santy Sharma is once again at the centre of a major controversy. The artist has reportedly claimed that he has been receiving death threats following his outspoken views on reservation reform and his criticism of the controversial Cockroach Janata Party (CJP). The development comes at a time when Santy Sharma is also being heavily rumoured as a potential contestant for Bigg Boss 20, making his recent controversies a major talking point among reality-TV fans.
Santy Sharma has shared a social-media story claiming that threats have been directed at him for speaking publicly about reservation and calling for reforms. He has recently launched the “Reservation Hatao – August Kranti” campaign, describing it as an independent public-awareness movement focused on reforming the reservation system. Sharma has said that his campaign is intended to encourage discussion around equality of opportunity, economic hardship and support for people in genuine need. He has also maintained that his criticism is aimed at issues and organisations rather than students as a whole.
The controversy escalated further when Santy Sharma claimed that his long-running YouTube channel had been permanently removed. Reports noted that YouTube had not publicly explained the reason for the removal, while Sharma himself connected the development to the backlash surrounding his CJP remarks. The incident became another major talking point and raised wider discussions about online censorship and the consequences faced by creators who take controversial positions.
If Santy Sharma does eventually enter the Bigg Boss house, his recent controversies could make him one of the season’s most closely watched personalities. From the CJP row and the YouTube controversy to his new reservation campaign and his reported claim of receiving threats, Sharma has remained firmly in the public conversation.
