Rapper Santy Sharma’s YouTube Channel Permanently Deleted After Comment on Cockroach Janta Party?

Independent rapper and digital creator Santy Sharma, known for his outspoken views, is facing a major setback after his YouTube channel was permanently deleted this week. The artist, whose real name is Ganesh Sharma, claims the removal is a direct consequence of his controversial remarks concerning the 'Cockroach Janata Party' (CJP). 'I Am Feeling Very Fine': Sonam Wangchuk Seeks Discharge From Hospital to Join 'Sansad Chalo' March.

Rapper Santy Sharma's YouTube Channel Removed?

The news of the channel's permanent deletion surfaced around July 19-20, 2026. Santy Sharma confirmed the removal on his social media, indicating that YouTube had informed him the channel would not be restored. This action brings an abrupt end to a platform where Sharma had built a loyal audience and published content for over a decade, beginning his official YouTube journey with tracks like "SUNI SUNI SADKO" in 2016.

Expressing his deep disappointment, Sharma stated that the channel represented "11 years of dreams, struggles, memories and countless hours of hard work."

Following the channel's deletion, Santy Sharma took to Instagram to share his distress and belief that the removal was connected to the CJP controversy. While YouTube has not offered a public explanation for the action, Sharma asserts the timing aligns with the backlash he received after his comments. He reportedly experienced a wave of hate messages online after making the CJP remarks.

Despite the significant setback, Sharma has indicated that he has no plans to step away from content creation, hinting at continuing his artistic journey through new platforms and future projects.

What Did He Say About CJP?

The controversy stems from Santy Sharma's public criticism of the 'Cockroach Janata Party' (CJP), a satirical online political movement that gained significant traction, particularly among Gen Z. The CJP emerged after a controversial remark by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, who allegedly compared unemployed and unqualified youth to "cockroaches" and "parasites" on May 15, 2026. This sparked the "#IAmACockroach" trend, with young Indians embracing the label.

In a viral video and subsequent social media posts around May 2026, Santy Sharma referred to the CJP as "just internet drama" and questioned its sincerity as a serious movement. He reportedly cautioned against "emotional politics and viral trends," urging young Indians not to blindly follow online narratives without understanding their long-term impact.

Sharma also raised concerns about alleged suspicious foreign engagement (specifically mentioning Pakistan and Bangladesh) on social media pages associated with the CJP trend and questioned the founder, Abhijeet Dipke's, past associations with Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and his alleged past posts critical of India itself. His comments divided online users, with some supporting his call for responsible online behaviour and others criticising him for dismissing genuine youth frustrations. Jantar Mantar Protest: Delhi Police Lathi-Charge Protesters Marching Towards Parliament, Traffic Hit (Watch Videos).

Santy Sharma, whose musical career began in 2014, is widely recognised as one of the pioneering independent rap artists from Madhya Pradesh. He has frequently made headlines for his outspoken opinions, including past remarks involving rapper Badshah (defending him during the "Tateeree" song controversy in March 2026) and criticisms of actress Khushi Mukherjee (over her bold content in March 2026). Adding to the recent buzz, Sharma's name has also been linked to rumours about his potential participation in Bigg Boss 20, although no official confirmation has been made.
