According to Stonebwoy, the word ‘BHIM’ serves as an invigorating and empowering term that resonates with him, motivating him to navigate his daily life with a sense of tranquillity.

“When hashtags gained popularity, they used to begin with #Team Drake and similar phrases, but I didn’t want to be associated with just a team. I see myself as a nation.
