Sikkim's rapper UNB was assaulted in Arunachal Pradesh, with his manager suggesting a ongoing rap feud as the motive. Police are investigating the incident.
Sikkim-based rapper UNB was reportedly attacked while travelling in Arunachal Pradesh, according to his manager. The manager said the assault could be linked to a rivalry that had developed between UNB and another artist, commonly referred to as a "rap beef" in the music community.
Local police have opened a case and are gathering statements from witnesses and the victim. No details on the extent of injuries or the identity of the assailants have been released yet, but authorities have assured that the investigation will focus on any motive related to the alleged feud.
The incident has sparked concern among the regional hip‑hop scene, where artists often engage in lyrical battles that sometimes spill over into real‑world confrontations. Industry insiders emphasized the need for conflict resolution through dialogue rather than violence.
UNB's manager appealed to fans and fellow musicians to refrain from speculation until the police complete their inquiry, urging the community to support a peaceful resolution.
The case adds to a growing list of disputes in India's underground rap culture that have attracted law‑enforcement attention in recent months.
