Quite a successful rapper
Born in Mumbai, Divine rose to prominence in 2013 with his breakthrough track, "Yeh Mera Bombay." Since then, he has established himself as one of the most influential figures in the Indian hip-hop scene. Divine achieved a significant milestone in 2020 when his album "Punya Paap" earned him the distinction of being the first Indian rapper to feature on Spotify's iconic Times Square billboard in New York. This accomplishment not only showcased Divine's talent but also underscored the growing global recognition of Indian hip-hop.
In 2022, Divine achieved yet another monumental feat as he became the first Indian hip-hop star to attend the prestigious Grammy Awards. This momentous occasion solidified his status as an artist who has transcended boundaries and put Indian rap on the international stage.
With his unparalleled energy and powerful lyrics, Divine's performance at the IPL closing ceremony promises to be an unforgettable experience for the audience. His electrifying presence and ability to connect with fans through his music will undoubtedly elevate the atmosphere at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium to new heights.
As the final match approaches, cricket fans from around the world eagerly await the showdown between Chennai Super Kings and their yet-to-be-determined opponents.
