Independent rapper and digital creator Santy Sharma has suffered a major setback after his YouTube channel, built over more than a decade, was permanently deleted. The development comes weeks after his controversial remarks referring to the “Cockroach Janata Party (CJP)” went viral across social media, sparking widespread debate and mixed public reactions.
According to Sharma, YouTube informed him that the channel would not be restored, confirming that the deletion is permanent. The rapper described the loss as deeply emotional, saying the channel represented 11 years of dedication, creativity, and his journey as an independent artist. He also claimed that after making the CJP remarks, he received a wave of hate messages online. While Sharma believes the timing is connected to the controversy, there has been no official statement from YouTube linking the channel's removal to his comments.
Known for his outspoken opinions and strong online presence, Santy Sharma has frequently found himself at the center of internet discussions. His recent CJP statement gained significant traction on social media, leading to intense conversations among supporters and critics alike. The controversy further amplified his public profile, making him one of the most talked-about independent artists in recent weeks.
Santy Sharma, whose real name is Ganesh Sharma, is widely recognized by his supporters as the first rapper from Madhya Pradesh. Beginning his career as an independent artist, he has built a loyal fan base through his music, digital content, and unfiltered views on social issues and trending topics. His willingness to express controversial opinions has often attracted both appreciation and criticism.
Earlier, Sharma also made headlines after his public remarks involving rapper Badshah, which generated considerable attention across entertainment and social media circles. More recently, his name has been making rounds in entertainment discussions due to strong speculation that he could be among the contestants of Bigg Boss 20, although no official confirmation has been announced.
Despite losing his YouTube platform, Sharma has indicated that he has no plans to step away from content creation. His supporters believe the setback marks the end of one chapter, while the artist himself has hinted that he will continue his journey through new platforms and future projects.
