How Sultaan’s ‘Studio Gangsters’ Has Reignited Conversation Around Punjabi Music Feuds

Sultaan’s latest diss track, Studio Gangsters, has triggered fresh conversation across Punjabi music circles after listeners interpreted parts of the song as taking aim at several well-known names in the industry, including Prem Dhillon, AP Dhillon and Karan Aujla.

The track quickly gained traction online, with fans dissecting its lyrics for references to long-discussed rivalries, personal tensions and older industry incidents. Among the moments that drew attention were references that listeners linked to Prem Dhillon, alongside renewed discussion around stories involving Beeba Boyz and artist Gur Chahal. As clips and commentary around the song spread across social media, Studio Gangsters soon became one of the most talked-about releases in Punjabi music this week.

The conversation around the track also revived older moments and perceived tensions involving other artists. Some listeners pointed to an earlier Instagram Live by AP Dhillon from around a year ago, which was at the time interpreted by sections of fans as an indirect remark aimed at Sultaan, though no names were publicly mentioned. While that episode predates the current track, it has resurfaced as part of the wider online discussion surrounding the song.

The controversy deepened further after Sultaan addressed the song during an Instagram Live of his own, where he expanded on the tensions he believes exist within the Punjabi music industry. During the session, he made a series of claims involving certain artists and industry dynamics, including serious allegations linked to Karan Aujla and the late Sidhu Moosewala. Those claims have not been independently verified, and no official confirmation regarding the allegations has emerged at the time of writing.

What began as a diss track has now evolved into a larger online controversy, fuelled not only by the song’s lyrics but also by livestream commentary, fan speculation and resurfaced industry narratives. In a genre where competitive exchanges and subliminal shots are hardly new, Studio Gangsters has once again shown how quickly a music release can turn into a wider public flashpoint, especially when the conversation moves beyond bars and into personal accusations.
