Grill G's Perspective

Me My Self The Famous Desi Hip Hop enthusiast Grill G, Haha Lol.! , Yes So Grill G weighed in on the controversy, agreeing with some of Rathee's points. Grill G stated, "I agree with some points of Dhruv Rathee that people should not cancel Samay Raina and Ranveer Allahbadia or give death threats over this. Giving death threats is a bigger crime than non-veg jokes or dank jokes. Many types of criminals are roaming free and sitting in government. It's a bad thing that they cracked non-veg jokes on parents, but we have many issues already in our country to deal with—broken roads, rapists roaming free, the education system, currency going down, and many more."
