My fans deserve to know what happened: Honey Singh

Popular rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh, who has opened up about his struggle with bipolar disorder and alcoholism, says he disclosed his issues to his fans and well-wishers because they deserve to know the reason behind his absence from showbiz.

Asked how he gained courage to speak about his problems to the world, Singh said at the red carpet of an awards ceremony: "As an artist, I believe that I am not my own property. I am the property of my fans. So I thought that they deserve to know about what exactly happened to me."

Many speculated that the rapper was at a rehabilitation centre. However, Singh broke his silence and dismissed all rumours and opened up about his bipolar disorder and his battle with alcoholism earlier this month.
