Samay Raina on Sunday dropped a new episode of India’s Got Latent 2! The latest episode had rapper MC Stan joining the panel, along with Tanmay Bhat, Madhur Virli and Arpit Bala. The episode was unhinged, raw, candid and full of unexpected moments.

MC Stan was as vocal as ever and dropped banger-on-banger one-liners, while his MC Stan Drop moments stunned the panel. Apart from the one-liners, Samay Raina also had to stop MC Stan from smoking on camera.

A clip has gone viral showing MC Stan taking out a cigarette and lighting it. However, Samay quickly notices what he is doing and stops him.

Samay asks Stan, “Yeh kya leke aaya hai bhai?” He then starts laughing and adds, “Sutta leke aaya hai. Ye kya aap tapri pe baithe hai koi? (What have you brought here, bro? You’ve brought a cigarette. What is this, are we sitting at a roadside tea stall?)”. His reaction leaves the other panelists, including Tanmay Bhat, laughing.

Netizens had mixed reactions to Stan lighting a cigarette on the set.

One user shared the clip on X and wrote, “My boy #MCStan got no filter! He started smoking right on the set.”

Another user posted the video with the caption, “MC Stan literally lit a ciggi at India’s Got Latent.”

MC Stan has mostly stayed away from the public eye since winning Bigg Boss 16. The rapper keeps his life private and is rarely seen at public events. He is occasionally spotted visiting a mosque on Fridays to offer prayers. The rapper has also been quiet on Instagram, with his last post shared in April 2025.

MC Stan, whose real name is Altaf Tadavi, was born in Pune. Now 27, he is known for his work in India’s desi hip-hop and trap music scene. His stage name comes from American rapper Eminem’s song “Stan”.

MC Stan started his music career in 2018 with the release of “Wata”. Apart from his independent music, MC Stan has also worked on film soundtracks. He contributed a rap segment to the 2024 film Baby John and sang the title track of Farrey (2023).
