Comedian Akaash Singh found himself at the center of an online controversy after he fiercely defended his wife, Jasleen Singh, following her candid remarks on the Main Character podcast. Jasleen’s personal confessions have sparked virulent backlash from Myron Gaines, who took to X (formerly Twitter) to criticize both her and Akaash.
Gaines’s tweet was laden with personal insults and misogynistic undertones, stating that Jasleen was making a mockery of herself and her husband on the podcast. In response, Akaash shared a clip from his own podcast, Flagrant 2, where he took a stand against Gaines, highlighting what he perceives as hypocrisy and misguided advice among male influencers. Akaash stated, “My man out here getting triggered by jokes. How ironic.”
His comments on Flagrant 2 addressed Gaines’s past claims about relationships and preferences, specifically taking issue with their motto, “From simps to pimps,” which Akaash called “corny” and lacking maturity. He emphasized the responsibility of public figures to be role models, particularly as an Indian man in the entertainment sphere. “There’s not a lot of us who are famous,” he said. “Whether you like it or not, people are looking at you as a role model.”
Akaash further criticized the simplistic solutions offered by Gaines and his co-hosts, suggesting that their life-coaching advice is often impractical and childish. He expressed concern that their content seems more aimed at immature audiences rather than providing genuine support for men looking to grow emotionally.
The back-and-forth between Akaash Singh and Myron Gaines has energized discussions on social media, with many rallying behind Akaash in support of his wife. As clips from Jasleen’s podcast continue to circulate, the controversy shows no signs of abating, keeping the couple in the spotlight within the social media landscape. The ongoing saga reveals the complexities of personal relationships in the public eye and the often polarized reactions they can elicit.
