    Rapper Gopi Longia Cuts Finger in Viral Video, Speaks on Industry Struggles

    Amidst the struggles and controversies of the Punjabi music industry, a very shocking and disturbing video has surfaced on social media. Famous underground Punjabi rapper Gurpreet Singh, aka Gopi Longia, shared a video on social media in which he is cutting his own finger.

    Currently, the rapper’s suicidal and shocking video is going viral rapidly on social media, which has worried his fans and sparked a new debate about the mental stress of artists within the Punjabi music industry.

    Bitter truth: He said – fought for people, but people themselves filed against him

    Taking this frightening step, the rapper has expressed the pain received in return for highlighting the harsh truths of the music industry, his seven-year-long struggle, and the social issues of Punjab. He said that I have been pointing fingers at the issues of the people of Punjab. People kept pointing fingers at him.

    Gopi said,,,that’s why I cut it as a gift

    In the video, Gopi Longia said in a very emotional and aggressive manner that people have long been pointing fingers at him and his work. Frustrated by this, he has now cut that very finger and will remember it as a ‘gift.’
    The rapper further made a shocking claim, saying that he will make a locket from this severed finger and wear it around his neck. He said that whenever he sees this locket, it will remind him and question why people felt the need to say such negative things about him.

    The punishment for raising Punjab’s issues:

    Targeting the music industry and the system, the rapper said that whatever money he earned from rap music, he always used it to promote local rap and to raise serious issues of Punjab. Through his songs, he candidly portrayed the pain of Punjab and the ground reality here, but in return, he was sidelined by the industry and kept away from major stages in Punjab.

    Referring to his financial and mental state, he expressed his pain that now he no longer has the same passion and money as before. Saying something profound, he said, ‘People say that hearing the truth is painful, but I say that speaking the truth is also painful.’
