Devi had previously faced controversy in 2024 during an event in Patna on the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. When she sang the bhajan Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram, Ishwar Allah Tero Naam at Bapu Sabhagar, several BJP leaders and workers protested, raising slogans of "Jai Shri Ram". The performance sparked outrage, and Devi later claimed that she had even received threats warning her she could be "sent to Gandhi ji."
