King says local artists are undervalued in India

Indian rapper King said that local artists are often undervalued in India.

King while speaking about local talent being undervalued in India opined, “People turn up for all those artists with whom they connect from the heart and not numbers. Ghar ki murgi daal barabar hoti hai logon k liye. We are so driven by western culture that we think they are best at everything. There's a perception that Western artists are inherently superior, which leads to local talent being undervalued. We only criticise our own people, not always but most of the time. We criticise our artists for every small mistake but do not appreciate them enough when they do something good."

He further said, “Look at what Diljit Dosanjh is doing and how he is representing us globally. Karan Aujla is doing his India tour now and 100,000 tickets were sold out in Delhi within 48 hours. So yeah, people are turning up for those they connect with from the heart.”
