Singer Guru Randhawa has finally reacted to the criticism surrounding his latest song Fine Shyt. The track, released recently, has sparked a wave of discussion online, with some listeners accusing the song and its music video of being misogynistic and unnecessarily provocative.
Instead of issuing a lengthy explanation, Guru appeared to take the criticism lightly. In a new social media post, the singer asked people to relax and suggested that the controversial phrase at the centre of the song should not be taken too seriously.
Guru Randhawa reacts to the criticism
Guru shared a video of himself driving a Porsche through what appeared to be an empty desert road. Along with the video, he addressed the online reaction to Fine Shyt.
“Guilty as charged of making songs that repeat in your head forever. Low-key loving the edits though. No bad vibes! It’s just a silly little slang… calm down calm down calm down fam,” he wrote.
His response suggests that the singer is not allowing the backlash to overshadow his mood. Rather than engaging directly with individual critics, Guru appeared to acknowledge the controversy while maintaining a light-hearted attitude.
The song has been widely discussed on social media, with several users sharing memes and edits related to it. Guru’s comment about “loving the edits” indicates that he is also aware of how quickly the song has become a subject of internet conversation.

Why Fine Shyt has attracted criticism
The controversy is not limited to the song’s title or lyrics. Much of the criticism has been directed at its music video, which is set in a corporate office environment.
Guru plays a senior professional in the video and is surrounded by several young female colleagues. The women are shown dancing and performing around him while he remains focused on his work.
Some viewers felt that the presentation reduced the women to objects of attention and argued that the video sexualised a professional workplace. Others criticised the overall concept and described the song as a cringe-heavy attempt at using internet slang.
The video also begins with a disclaimer stating that all the people shown are above 18 and that the story is fictional.
Guru turns to faith amid the controversy
Before responding directly to the backlash, Guru visited the Golden Temple in Amritsar. The singer shared a picture from his visit, sitting near the Amrit Sarovar, and posted a spiritual message about faith and resilience.
His caption, written in Punjabi, expressed the belief that those blessed by Waheguru cannot easily be shaken by difficult circumstances. The post came as the criticism surrounding Fine Shyt was gaining momentum online.
Although Guru did not directly mention the song or the controversy in that post, the timing led many followers to connect it with the situation he was facing.
This isn’t Guru’s first controversy
Guru Randhawa has faced criticism over his music before. His earlier song Azul also attracted controversy, with some viewers objecting to the way young women were portrayed in its visuals.
With Fine Shyt, however, the reaction has been particularly strong because of the combination of the song’s lyrics, its workplace setting and the use of the phrase in the title.
Despite the criticism, the song has continued to generate conversation, making it difficult to ignore its growing presence across social media.
Tony Kakkar joins the conversation
Amid the controversy, singer Tony Kakkar also appeared to poke fun at Guru Randhawa. He shared a humorous video pretending to speak with Guru over the phone.
In his playful take on the controversy, Tony joked that Guru had managed to create the whole situation himself without involving him. The video was clearly intended as a light-hearted reaction to the growing internet discussion.
For now, Guru seems determined to take the backlash in his stride. His latest response makes it clear that, despite the criticism, he does not appear interested in turning the controversy into a serious public confrontation. Instead, he has chosen humour, social media edits and a simple message to his critics: calm down.
