Tony Kakkar Calls Himself 'a Genre' After Guru Randhawa Comparisons
A singer named Tony Kakkar saw jokes on the internet about another singer called Guru Randhawa.
Guru just released a new song called 'Fine Shyt,' and many people were making fun of it online.
Some of those jokes compared Guru's music to Tony's style of singing.
Instead of getting angry, Tony shared the funny post on his Instagram Story.
He wrote a caption that said 'Tony Kakkar = a Genre,' which means his music is its own special style.
The video for 'Fine Shyt' takes place in an office, where Guru plays a boss and some co-workers sing and dance around him.
Before the video starts, a message says everyone in it is above 18 and everything is made-up fiction.
It even jokes that people should not try the dance steps at work.
This is not the first time Guru has been criticized.
He was also criticized earlier for a video called 'Azul' that some people felt was inappropriate.
Tony Kakkar shared a viral post on his Instagram Story on Saturday, August 8 with the caption 'Tony Kakkar = a Genre.'
Guru Randhawa's latest song 'Fine Shyt' has drawn heavy online trolling, with users comparing his music to Tony Kakkar's style.
A viral post sarcastically suggested Guru Randhawa was 'competing with Tony Kakkar' amid the backlash.

Guru Randhawa has not publicly reacted to the criticism and appears to have limited comments on his Instagram posts related to the song.
