Yo Yo Honey Singh has always been larger than life. But now? He’s literally above the skyline. In a move that blends music, ambition, and pure spectacle, the Indian rap icon has become the first-ever artist to shoot a music video at the top of the Burj Khalifa and Vivaan Shenoy takes you behind the madness of his latest release, Maniac.
Filmed at the very peak of the world’s tallest building, this music video isn’t just another flex, it’s history. The visuals are surreal: Yo Yo in his signature swag, wind roaring, Dubai glowing beneath him, and the city skyline looking like a toy set. It’s cinematic, audacious, and totally on brand for an artist who’s never done anything halfway.
The song Maniac brings back his classic energy, hooky, hypnotic, and high-octane. But paired with visuals from 828 meters above the ground, it hits different. The location isn’t just a backdrop, it’s a statement. One that screams: “I’m back. Bigger than ever.”
Shot at the razor-thin tip of the world’s tallest building, the video features dizzying aerial views, late-night Dubai lights, and Honey Singh perched at the pinnacle of the skyline like he owns it. And honestly? He kind of does.
From underground bhangra beats to global domination, Honey Singh’s career has seen it all. And with Maniac, he proves once again that he’s not just chasing trends he’s making history.The only thing crazier than the beat… is where he chose to drop it.
