Ranveer Allahbadia, aka Beerbiceps, has been facing a lot of backlash for his derogatory comments on a renowned talent show ‘India’s Got Latent’ by a comedian, Samay Raina. While he has been an acclaimed influencer for years, questions regarding his ‘inappropriate’ actions have been flooding on various social media platforms.
‘Would You Rather?’ cost him a legal complaint, alleging he should be canceled for his use of abusive and vulgar language on a professional platform. Many users demanded strict action against the podcaster, while others defended him by stating that the concept of the show was meant to be a little edgy and that everything was a jest.
