Recently, BV Singh, an artist purportedly based in Calgary, Canada, has garnered viral attention for songs laden with political themes: praising Pakistan’s military, criticizing Indian officials, mocking Indian media, and supporting Khalistan. However, investigations reveal that BV Singh may not be a real person.
Key Findings:
-
Absence from Music Platforms: BV Singh has no legitimate presence on major music streaming platforms. Although a profile exists on BoomPlay, it is empty, suggesting a fabricated claim of legitimacy.
-
YouTube Distribution Network: BV Singh’s songs are distributed across over 18 YouTube channels, mostly unrelated media, which have seen sudden spikes in views. The primary channel credits the fictional “Dhamaka Records,” which is misrepresented as a reputable label.
-
AI-Generated Content: Analysis confirmed that all audio is AI-generated, as were the visual elements of the videos. Content creators used reaction and analysis videos to create an illusion of authenticity.
-
Thematic Consistency: Songs consistently portray India as an oppressor and Pakistan as a liberator. They leverage visual content of protests and military displays to bolster misleading narratives.
-
Coordinated Messaging: On Twitter, 18 accounts spread coordinated messages to establish BV Singh as credible, facilitating pro-Pakistan propaganda. The narrative manipulates Sikh identity to suggest that criticisms of India originate from within the Sikh community, thus creating a false internal voice.
Conclusion: BV Singh’s existence appears to be a manufactured illusion designed to spread disinformation and propaganda, utilizing AI-generated content to manipulate perceptions regarding Sikh identity and sentiments against India.
