Kunal Kamra Slams T-Series, Urges Music Giant to ‘Stop Being a Stooge’

Mumbai, March 27, 2025 — Stand-up comedian and political satirist Kunal Kamra has publicly criticized music label T-Series, accusing the entertainment giant of acting like a "stooge." Kamra’s remarks came in response to recent social media activity and decisions by the company, which he believes reflect political bias and opportunism.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Kamra wrote, “T-Series should stop being a stooge and remember that art and creativity flourish in freedom, not under pressure.” His post quickly drew reactions online, sparking debates among users about the growing influence of corporate media houses and their relationship with political narratives.

While Kamra did not specify the exact trigger for his comment, it is believed to be linked to recent reports of T-Series removing or restricting certain content amid political controversies.

The comedian, known for his outspoken views and criticism of media corporatization, added that large platforms should “prioritize artistic integrity over appeasement.”

T-Series has not issued any official statement in response to Kamra’s remarks at the time of publishing.

This is not the first time Kamra has openly challenged major media entities and entertainment houses. His comment reflects broader concerns shared by many independent creators regarding creative freedom and corporate influence in the entertainment industry.
