The hosts of the FLAGRANT podcast are pushing back against accusations that they orchestrated the removal of a satirical rap song targeting co-host Akaash Singh‘s marriage.
During a recent podcast episode, Singh and his co-host Andrew Schulz directly addressed rumors circulating online that they had issued a copyright strike to remove CrackAmico’s latest musical parody from YouTube.
“There was somebody said that like we got it taken down which is bulls**t. No, nobody got it taken down,” Schulz stated during the discussion.
The controversy erupted after CrackAmico, a content creator who recently gained viral attention for comedy-themed diss tracks, announced his satirical song about Singh had been removed from YouTube. “Removed from YouTube for harassment and channel stricken. Appealing now,” CrackAmico posted on social media, adding his frustration about platform moderation: “No rhyme or reason to any of this sh*t.”
Despite the denials from the FLAGRANT team, the incident has sparked debate within the comedy community about how public figures handle satirical criticism directed at them. The song in question focused on Singh’s relationship with his wife Jasleen, who has cultivated her own social media presence through lifestyle content and couple vlogs.
Jasleen has been candid about her approach to marriage and household responsibilities. “I’m a stay at home wife but I don’t cook or clean because I don’t feel like it. And my husband is a full time stand up comedian and he buys me lots of nice things,” she has shared publicly. She’s also outlined her financial philosophy: “his money’s our money and my money is my money.”
Rather than expressing outrage over the parody, Singh appeared to take a measured approach during the podcast discussion. He acknowledged that CrackAmico demonstrated genuine skill in his craft, noting specific lines from the track that he found clever. “Looking like Apu don’t mean you need to be a simp son,” Singh recalled as one memorable bar from the song.
The hosts confirmed the video remained accessible on at least some platforms, contradicting initial reports of a complete takedown. Singh even seemed to embrace his new internet designation with a sense of humor, referring to himself as “the top jeet on the internet right now” while acknowledging the term’s potentially pejorative nature but insisting he wasn’t offended.
Crack Amico has built a following by creating comedic diss tracks about various figures in the entertainment world. His previous work, including a track about comedians performing in Saudi Arabia, generated significant discussion and reactions online.
