Deemed as the nightingale of India, Lata Mangeshkar has been trending on Twitter lately after a user called the legendary Bollywood singer 'overrated' and went on a Twitter rant about the same. Thus, hundreds and thousands of fans flocked to the micro-blogging platform to bash the user and praise Mangeshkar's singing abilities. Now, joining the bandwagon is Padma Shri awardee and prolific songster Adnan Sami, who slammed the individual and went on to school her for sharing her opinion without knowing anything.

On January 13, 2021, a Twitter thread about Lata Mangeshkar did rounds on the micro-blogging platform as a user tweeted writing, "Indians have been brainwashed into thinking that Lata Mangeshkar has a good voice". In addition to that, the user went on a rant about how the legendary songstress 'wielded power' and went on to sing 'way beyond her shelf life'. The thread was quick to catch netizens' attention on Twitter and left many offended, including the Lift Karadey crooner Adnan Sami. 

Soon after Adnan came across the Twitter thread, he decided to respond to the user by putting forth his advice for her and took a sly dig at her in his tweet. The 49-year-old retweeted the user's tweet and responded writing, "'Bandar Kya Jaane Adrak Ka Swaad'. ...It’s better to stay silent and appear stupid than to open your mouth & remove all doubt!!".
