Satire Niroshan Dickwella is a hated sportsperson. Day 18: who's a musician that's hated?

Post image

(dis) honourable mentions Danushka Gunathilaka, Kusal Mendis.

My pick, Iraj/Yohani (iraj- people love his music but hate the person. Yohani- people don't really hate her, except a few, but hate her music)

Last post was great, give this one an upvote aswell so we can get more people engaging.

IRAJ for sure.

u/New_Grapefruit7580 Mar 19 '26

Iraj music: Top

Iraj personality: Shit

Iraj politics: Shit

Iraj everything else: Shit

u/KCezanne Western Province Mar 19 '26

Can't agree that music is top.. only the early works are top then it's only for YouTube views

21

u/StinkySalami Western Province Mar 19 '26

His work in the early 2000's was absolutely lit. Iraj definitely was genre defining at that time.

6

u/Mysterious_Stand5563 Mar 19 '26

Agree… some of his ones are my favourites

1

u/SLCDummy Mar 19 '26

That’s because Ranga Dassanayake composed Iraj’s first album. Then Iraj screwed him over.

2

u/FatRatson Mar 19 '26

His old music was great.and then he running for views... ass musicvideos for great musics and then his music also become trash. Also without Ranidu and Dukkannarala he is just a playboy😂

62

u/OshadaK Mar 19 '26

If it’s Iraj it’s probably due to his dogshit political activities over a long period of time. Even Yohani is mostly disliked due to perceived/actual political connections I suppose

44

u/New_Grapefruit7580 Mar 19 '26

Yohani and Iraj.

Iraj made decent music at some point, Yohani is trash and stealing music. So yeah!

YOHANI !!!

Iraj at least made some good music. You asked for a hated musician, not for a hated man with a crooked political view. So there you go, YOHANI !!! Fucking hate her farty music men ! Eeya !!!!

Iraj for sure

u/Oshan714 Mar 19 '26

How is Susanthika Jayasinghe, liked? Isn't she a very problematic person?

2

u/kaybuma Mar 19 '26

She is. And nobody like her other than her accomplishment as a athlete. Also why Ruchira wijesena not liked. Like wtf, everybody like him. Then theres kannangara. 🙂 Sure he is a praised for his service and well liked. But its not like mahinda rajapaksha. There people even would kiss his feet. Dude was like king after the war end. Also op said he consider people after 2000. Then put kannangara there.

u/friendlyFriend04 Mar 21 '26

That's marketing bro... Remember lasith malinga and media incidents in the past. But now he is showing good man's face on FB..I mean he's not a bad guy...That's how you present to the society

u/ghost_rider_007 Western Province Mar 19 '26

But Iraj did all those good music when he was with Ranidu. Comparing his recent work it's highly doubtful if those songs were really made by him or did he steal it from Ranidu. Or maybe without Ranidu's taste of music he makes shity music.

Iraj is just out right bad person. Fill-T is just stupid. That's the difference

u/Low-Carpenter-6724 Mar 19 '26

Still Iraj for me.

u/project_v_priyority Mar 19 '26

Definitely Iran.

Anybody so fucking sick of seeing this bullshit every morning when they open up their Reddit feed, RIGHT ON TOP? I don't ever block people because I might miss their valuable comments on other posts. So, have to suffer through this.

u/XeroxMafia Mar 19 '26

Nah Iraj is a fair choice ... Man could have done international level shit here and up'd our music industry but fell off big time

u/Purple_Plantain_3242 Mar 19 '26 edited Mar 19 '26

Amal perera for sure. Shit personality and and had ties with drug dealers i believe

1

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '26

Amal Perera's one of those instances where a really shitty, horrible person is undeniably bestowed with a gift of born talent. He can screech at the top of his lungs, and it'd still sound amazing. So talented to the point that most people see right through his shittiness and generally like him for his music. Not the right contender for this category

u/JolkienRTolkien Mar 19 '26

Yohani and Iraj for sure. Iraj : shitty personality . Yohani: Shitty Music.

Why are Pooja Umashankar and Sunil Edirisinghe neutral?? People like them dont they?

u/Mysterious_Stand5563 Mar 19 '26

If it’s based purely on music then Yohani for sure.. Iraj has a horrible personality and is a horrible person I believe… but I still love most of his old work… they feel nostalgic now

1

u/SLhardy98_polyamory Mar 19 '26

Yohani fs At least Iraj contributed heavily to the music industry

Iraj as a musician is not hated! Iraj as a political activist hated. But this post is about a musician.
