Badshah Says 'Past Few Weeks Tested Me' Amidst Tateeree Controversy, Wedding Buzz: 'Ready For The Next Phase'

Rapper Badshah has been grabbing the headlines recently for all the wrong reasons. He faced severe backlash for his latest song, Tateeree, for alleged controversial lyrics objectifying women and minors. The row escalated to the point that the National Commission for Women (NCW) had to summon the singer and his team over obscenity in the song. Amidst the controversy, his wedding pics with Punjabi actress Isha Rikhi also went viral on social media.

Following these, Badshah shared a note on his Instagram handle after a concert in London, reflecting on the challenging period of his life. He also shared about starting fresh with new music.

Badshah's new post amidst song controversy and wedding rumours

After his London concert, Badshah shared an emotional note on his Instagram Stories where he wrote, “I’ll be honest with you, these past few weeks tested me in ways I wasn’t fully prepared for. There’s a version of this life that looks perfect from the outside, and then there’s the reality of what you actually carry when the cameras are off. I’ve been sitting with a lot. But London reminded me of something I needed to be reminded of. When I walked out on that O2 stage, the energy hit me before the sound did (sic).”

“The faces, the voices, the warmth in that arena. You flew in from different cities, different countries, different lives, and you showed up for this music, for me, like it meant something to you. That night I remembered who I am and what this is all for (sic),” he added.

The rapper also thinks he is ready for the next phase and revealed that new music is on its way, and he is “pouring everything into it.”

Towards the end, Badshah expressed gratitude for “holding me down even when I couldn’t say why I needed it.”
