The Young Stunners, Pakistan’s beloved rap duo consisting of Talha Anjum and Talha Yunus, have seen their long-awaited India debut cancelled at the last minute. The much-awaited tour that was going to thrill fans in Mumbai, Bengaluru, and New Delhi has disappointed fans and set off a debate as to why this was cancelled.
A Promising Start Turned Sour
The India tour, planned by Desi Disco Entertainment in conjunction with Live Vibe Australia, would have started with a bang in Mumbai on December 13. The dream tour was, however, soon to be waylaid by claims of organisation and financial rows. Said Rolling Stone India: “Allegations had started surfacing after the duo cancelled the Sydney show earlier this month, causing further suspicions about mismanagement.”
Conflicting Claims
While Live Vibe Australia claims that the duo’s management team did not return the booking fees for the Sydney and India tours, Young Stunners responded differently. On November 18, through Instagram Stories, the artists cited mismanagement and mistreatment of their team as the primary reasons for withdrawing from the Sydney performance. However, their management has refrained from addressing the specific accusations surrounding the cancellation of the India tour.
