When Guru Randhawa dropped his latest track Azul on August 6, he probably didn’t expect it to ignite one of the year’s biggest pop culture controversies. The video’s portrayal of a schoolgirl and teacher sparked massive outrage, with celebrities and fans calling it “problematic.” Instead of addressing the criticism, Randhawa posted a cryptic Instagram story flaunting the song’s trending numbers: “When God is with you, you only move forward.” Now, with Azul facing backlash and another legal case brewing over Sirra, the singer finds himself caught between chart success and cultural critique.
