Divine is an Indian rapper from Mumbai, Maharashtra. He started to gain popularity after the release of his song “Yeh Mera Bombay” (2013). He broke through with the release of his song “Mere Gully Mein” (2019) featuring fellow Mumbai rapper Naezy. On 12 December 2020, Divine became the first Indian rapper to be featured on Spotify Times Square billboard in New York City for his album “Punya Paap” (2020), which had claimed the top spot on Apple Music India. He made his debut at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards in 2022 becoming the first Indian hip-hop star to attend the Grammys. He is well known to represent street life of Mumbai.
Apart from contributing to many mainstream Bollywood movies, Divine most notably contributed to the soundtrack of Gully Boy by Zoya Akhtar, a 2019 film inspired by the lives of Naezy and himself, with Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles. Divine and Naezy both helped as consultants to get an authentic representation of hip hop culture for the film.
