In 2013, a petition was filed against him for his song “Main hun balatkari” (I am a rapist). However, Honey Singh denied singing the vulgar song. In an interview, he said,
"The person (fake Honey Singh or any other name), who has sung this very song and uploaded it on the internet portal should be prosecuted for the wrong done by him and in this regard, the responsibility of the internet portal should also be fixed, in case they have acted in contravention of the provisions of law.”
In the same year, his other song “Party All Night” from the film Boss (2013) attracted controversy for carrying a vulgar word which was muted. In an interview, while talking the controversy, the protagonist of the film Akshay Kumar said,
“Wo koi vulgar word tha nai. Ab kisiko kuch aur sunai de to isme unke kaan ki galti hai na ki humari.” (The word was not vulgar at all. They must have heard it wrongly. The blame lies on those who heard it wrong, not us."
Later, Honey Singh received legal notice for the lyrics of the song from a Haryana-based NGO for promoting alcohol and insulting women. Mail They sent the legal notice for the lyrics which reads,
"Jisne bhi party hai karni, aa jao mere ghar ke bhitar, daaru pi kar, khane ko hai murga teetar” (Those who want to party come to my house after drinking; there is chicken and partridge to eat)
