Selfie Maine Leli Aaj and Swag Wali Topi-fame cringe-pop rapper Dhinchak Pooja is in the news again, but wait, did she launch any new rap? No, a recent rap song on Bharat Jodo Yatra has reminded the listeners of Pooja Jain and her songs
A woman named Anam Ali shared a rap on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s on-going Bharat Jodo Yatra. As soon as Anam’s rap was uploaded online, it went viral as the viewers compared her to Dhinchak Pooja. Reportedly, a majority of netizens downvoted the song on YouTube
Anam Ali, who had joined Twitter in 2019, saw an instant rise in her followers as soon as she uploaded the viral video. Her Twitter video has amassed more than 1 million views till now
Anam’s rap, which goes like ‘Ab nahi toh kab, mile vatan, jude kadam, Rahul (Gandhi) ki jaari hai Bharat Jodo yatra’ has been termed as a direct competition to Dhinchak Pooja’s rap songs
Dhinchak Pooja, who also featured in Bigg Boss 11, was trolled massively due to her songs such as Dilon Ka Shooter. But after the release of Bharat Jodo Yatra rap, netizens preferred to listen to Pooja’s raps instead
Following the reactions, Anam tweeted, "What I wrote for Rahul Gandhi is neither a speech nor a song. It's Bharat Jodo Yatra rap. I have claimed several times in my videos that neither I am a singer nor a rapper…”
On Thursday, Rahul Gandhi was in Pathankot, a border area between India and Pakistan, moving towards the final leg of his ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’. He will then travel to Jammu and Kashmir and end his rally on January 30
