A viral video claiming to show an abandoned bar once owned by rapper Raftaar has prompted the artist to set the record straight. Recently, a content creator shared a video of a rundown property named "Raftaar" and claimed it had once belonged to one of India's most popular rappers. However, according to the reel, the bar was abandoned overnight.
The clip showed the abandoned bar filled with broken furniture, debris and scrap material. It also featured a luxury car parked inside the premises in a badly damaged condition, with visible rust on its doors, adding to the eerie atmosphere.
The creator captioned the post, "I explored India’s most famous abandoned rapper bar."
However, the claim caught Raftaar's attention, and the rapper responded in the comments section to clear the confusion. "Am sorry but you are wrong brother. My club was in Dubai and named ICY," Raftaar wrote.
The content creator immediately acknowledged the mistake and apologised. Replying to the rapper, he wrote, "Bro thanks for the info and thanks for the comment, saw your name on the bar so I thought apka hoga. Baaki big fan of you and mafiya mundeer😝. Peace."
The exchange was appreciated by fans, who praised both Raftaar for politely correcting the misinformation and the creator for accepting his mistake without hesitation. However, a section of Instagram users also criticised the content creator for not cross-checking fats before sharing a video.
