While performing during his Chandigarh show, Dhillon responded to Diljit's recent shoutout to him during his Indore concert, where he wished the Indo-Canadian rapper and another rapper Karan Aujla for their concert and called them his ''brothers.''

In Indore, Diljit had said, “Mere aur do bhaiyon ne tour shuru kiya hai Karan Aujla aur AP Dhillon nein, unke liye bhi best of luck (Two of my brothers, Karan Aujla and AP Dhillon, have started their tour; best of luck to them, too).”

Responding to Diljit's remark, Dhillon shockingly said, ''First unblock me on Instagram, and then talk to me.”
