Controversy

During the fourth season of MTV Hustle, internet personality Rohan Cariappa, who rose to fame for his content covering the Indian hip-hop scene, shared a video on November 30, 2025 on his YouTube channel, which pointed out that judge Ikka, was wearing a Harley-Davidson jacket on the Royal Enfield sponsored show. Cariappa was soon met with at least fifty copyright strikes on his videos covering the show, which led to YouTube issuing a warning of his channel being shut down on December 7. Soon, the show was met with widespread backlash by netizens and the hashtag #ShameOnMTVHUSTLE started trending on Twitter to support Cariappa. Indian rappers like Yashraj, Encore ABJ, Badshah, Raja Kumari, and YouTubers like Samay Raina, Arpit Bala, RAPBOT, Prakhar Gupta spoke out against the injustice. Raftaar, who was a judge on the show, told the audience to be patient and requested the show makers, to "meet in the middle and let’s make it happen", while boAt, one of the sponsors of the show, also expressed their dissent regarding the action. Cariappa eventually issued a written apology on Twitter, on December 6 and shared an apology video, a day after, where he thanked the audience, content creators and rappers who supported him.[9][10][11]
