Indian singer Sona Mahapatra has defended celebrating her New York Times Square billboard appearance. The singer reacted to a tweet on Saturday, which mentioned how Times Square billboards are just paid ads.

Journalist Mayank Shekhar wrote in his Tweeted writing,  “‘Billboard at Times Square’ is the new ‘My film at Cannes’—softly forgetting to mention, ‘Not selected; just a stall at market section (for prospective buyers).’ Technically, anybody can—if you pay for it no? It’s a hoarding! (Happy to be corrected, if I’m missing something here).” Replying to him Sona wrote, “We have no celebration of artists, no real music industry, mostly only a subset of the film industry. That music streaming global name is putting a spotlight on some of us, brave SELECTIONS not PAID for btw. (@VivianDivine, me, not Tulsi Kumar.)Yay!?! Don’t be an *Indian flag emoji* crab Mayank.”

Earlier, Spotify featured the singer on their billboard a week ago. In an interview with Hindustan Times Sona called the feature ‘a pop-culture milestone for any artiste’. “I’ve been to Times Square and would normally hang out there. I am grateful. They recognise the fact that I am using my voice to go beyond just music, and stand for a better world, however clichéd it sounds.
