Adnan Sami rose to fame with its famous song Lift Kara De with Govinda and post that, there was no looking back for the singer. Adnan took to Twitter and said that his staff was mistreated and they were called "Indian dogs" by officials in Kuwait airport.
The singer tweeted, "@indembkwt We came 2 ur city wt luv & our Indian brethren embraced us with it. U gave no support. Kuwaiti airport immigration mistreated my staff 4 no reason & called thm ‘Indian Dogs’! Wn u wr contacted u did nothing!! How dare d Kuwaitis behave like this with arrogance?!"
External affairs minister Sushma Swaraj replied and told the singer to call her and give all the details. "Thank you for your ever so prompt reply. Will call you and give you details. Thank you very much," he tweeted tagging Swaraj.
In 2015, the singer made headlines post Pakistan refused to confirm renunciation of nationality. In an earlier interview with Mid-Day, he said, "When Indians have embraced Pakistani artistes, why can’t they [Pakistan] come out in support when injustice has
been meted out to the people? Pakistan doesn’t value its artistes. I will get trolled for what I have said, but, that is the reality. It is unfortunate. Pakistan never valued Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan saab until English songwriter Peter Gabriel started collaborating with him. After that, the country suddenly realised that they have an amazing talent. This is the the story of a lot of artistes there."
He went on to add, "The way the Pak government treated me is only testimony to the ill-treatment meted out to artistes. There was outrage against me. People were amazed that I had applied for citizenship in India. I don’t give a damn about getting trolled. I have earned immense respect and love in India."
"When Indians have loved and embraced Pakistani artistes, why can’t the latter come out in their support when injustice has been meted out to the people? No one wants these artistes to wage a war against their government. People didn’t demand that they condemn their own country. They just expected them to say something for the sake of humanity," added the singer.
