Music producer and rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh recently showed the world just how much he admires legendary composer A.R. Rahman—by getting his name permanently inked on his body. The rapper took to Instagram to share a video of the emotional moment, calling Rahman a “living legend” and thanking him for inspiring his musical journey.
A Tattoo Straight From the Heart
In the video, Honey Singh is seen at a tattoo studio, getting A.R. Rahman‘s name inked on his right shoulder blade. As the tattoo artist works on his back, Honey sings Rahman’s iconic track Tu Hi Re from the film Bombay—a clear reflection of how deeply connected he feels to the maestro’s music.
Speaking in the video, Honey says, “This is for my love for the lovely legend Mr. A.R. Rahman. I love you, sir. This is for you. Thank you for blessing me with your music. You are the reason why I am a musician today. I love you forever.”
Third Tattoo of the Night for Rahman
In his Instagram caption, Honey Singh revealed that this wasn’t just one tattoo. He actually got three tattoos in a single night as a tribute to A.R. Rahman. Sharing the clip, he wrote, “My third tattoo in one night for my lovely living legend @arrahman sir!! I love you sir, thank you for everything.”
His gesture was emotional, sincere, and personal—something fans don’t often get to see from the otherwise high-energy performer. The video quickly gained attention online, with many fans praising Honey for expressing such raw gratitude toward one of India’s most respected musicians.
A Longtime Admiration for the Maestro
Honey Singh has always been vocal about his admiration for A.R. Rahman. He has often spoken about how Rahman’s music inspired him to pursue a career in music. In several interviews, Honey has shared his dream of collaborating with the Oscar-winning composer and even hopes to one day work with him on a Grammy-worthy track.
This tattoo isn’t just about fan love—it’s a mark of respect from one artist to another, and a public display of the impact Rahman has had on generations of musicians across India and beyond.
Yo Yo Honey’s Upcoming Project
On the work front, Honey Singh recently dropped a new music video titled Teri Yaadein, featuring actress Nargis Fakhri and international singer Grini. The song is part of his latest album Glory, which marks his return as a music producer.
The album is a multilingual project featuring tracks in ten different languages, showing Honey’s range as a musician and his effort to reach wider audiences. His tribute to Rahman aligns perfectly with this phase of artistic reinvention—grounded in respect, emotion, and passion for music.
