The release of “Oh My Baby,” Guntur Kaaram’s second single, stirred controversy among a faction of Mahesh Babu fans, who directed criticism towards composer Thaman and lyricist Ramajogayya Sastry.
Sastry responded on social media, defending their creative process and emphasizing the dedication put into delivering a quality song. However, the situation escalated as a particular group of Mahesh Babu fans created a toxic online environment, prompting Sastry to deactivate his X (formerly Twitter) account.
The intense reactions from netizens highlight the potential harm caused by such negativity. Many argue against targeting creators in this manner, advocating for constructive criticism while condemning the use of offensive language, which crosses acceptable boundaries.
