When Naezy was in the Bigg Boss OTT 3 house, a co-contestant, Poulomi Das, asked the rapper if Gully Boy was inspired by his life. Naezy agreed to it and shared that the film harmed his personal life. He went on to reveal that the makers altered facts about his life. He added that they showcased that he has two girlfriends and was working as a driver. It wasn't true but people believed it and it affected his personal life.
“To usse mere ko ekdum subtle way mein fayda hua aur bahut nuksaan bhi hua. Mere personal life pe ki mere do-do girlfriends dikha di gayi hai. Mujhe gareeb bataya gaya hai, jitna gareeb main tha nahi. Mujhe driver bataya gaya hai kyunki main vo hu nahi. Lekin jo Indian audience ka dimag hai na, sabko aisa lagra ki yahi Naezy bhai hai. To ussey meri personal life pe thoda farak pada.”
