Ranveer Allahbadia, the sensational YouTuber and podcaster, is facing backlash for his inappropriate comments and vulgar sentiments on the talent show by famous comedian Samay Raina, the ‘India’s Got Latent.’ The inappropriate question asked by him while he was present on the dais led to a spark all over social media and complaints from Mumbai and Guwahati.
‘BeerBiceps’
Ranveer Allahbadia started his YouTube career by launching a channel called ‘BeerBicpes’ after his graduation in 2015. He started sharing his insights on fitness, lifestyle, and diet, which were massively accepted by the users. To enhance his channel and extend his reach, he started sharing about mental health, grooming, personal development, and men’s fashion. After the crass remarks and alleged promotion of obscene content, Allahbadia reportedly lost 700,000 subscribers on the channel, as per Social Blade.
‘The Ranveer Show’
With a stable income and consistent reach, Ranveer launched another channel, ‘The Ranveer Show,’ for podcasting, the interviews which are widely viewed, gaining the position of most influential Indian podcaster. Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Rohit Shetty, Dwayne Bravo, Vidhu Vinod Chopra, and Arnold Schwarzenegger are some of the most famous guests on his show.
Ranveer Allahbadia’s past controversies
In July 2023, during an interview with an advocate, J Sai Deepak, he blatantly asked which individuals should leave India, and the advocate answered with some journalists and historians, facing backlash for his questions. However, he did not take down the podcast.
In April 2024, Ranveer Allahbadia faced a controversial backlash for platforming an unverified claim about a village in Malappuram, Kerala, enforcing Islamic law.
YouTube channel hacked
In September 2024, Ranveer Allahbadia’s YouTube channels were hacked, where his ‘BeerBiceps’ channel was renamed as ‘Tesla’ and changed its handle to ‘@Elon.trump.tesla_live2024.’ His channel was renamed as ‘@Tesla.event.trump_2024.’
The hackers deleted all his pre-existing interview videos and podcasts and uploaded older clips of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. They also live-streamed Elon Musk’s avatar and baited the viewers in the cryptocurrency scam. However, YouTube retrieved the original content and helped Ranveer gain back everything he lost in the hacking.
Summoning of Ranveer Allahbadia
Currently, The Maharashtra Cyber Department has summoned 40 individuals, including Samay Raina and Ranveer Allahbadia, while Assam Police has filed an FIR against them as well. The National Commission of Women (NCW) has issued a summon, which is scheduled for February 17, 2025, at noon in New Delhi.
