In the video message, the singer said that since morning, an edited clip of his video has been going viral on social media, which many people have found offensive. He added that he wanted to explain the full context behind it.
He said that he had appeared as a guest on a show, and a day before that, he had met several doctors who informed him that many people from the current generation were being affected by sexually transmitted diseases.
He further explained that during the show, when he saw a large number of Gen Z individuals, he decided to advise them in a language they could relate to. He said he used OTT-style language, the kind commonly used in films and dramas, to explain the issue and urge them to take precautions.
