After an emotional moment from her Melbourne concert, in which she broke down and apologised to fans, went viral, Neha Kakkar was recently at the centre of controversy. Despite being three hours late for the show, Neha said she and her team had to perform in difficult conditions because the organisers had not made even the most basic preparations.

In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, rapper and event host Pace D said, “Beat Production from Melbourne was the one who invited Neha Kakkar. Now that both parties have come forward and spoken openly, then why can’t we? We were there and saw everything. I spoke to Preet Pabla bhai, who was the event organiser. I asked him everything. He’s a very nice and genuine person. That’s when I found out that she didn’t arrive on time and there were multiple delays. He told me that she kept saying things like, ‘I won’t go now; I won’t do this.’"

enying Neha's allegations, he further said, "This was such a big show, the entire tech rider was in place. There were opening acts, and everyone performed. Her mic and complete setup were fully ready. So the things she’s been saying don’t seem to be true, because we saw with our own eyes that everything was set up properly."
