The rivalry between Indian rappers Yo Yo Honey Singh and Badshah, once thought to be resolved, appears to be heating up again. Honey Singh recently took a jab at Badshah’s rapping abilities, rekindling their long-standing feud. In an Instagram Story, Honey Singh shared a promotional video from the 15th season of Indian Idol, where Badshah was seen showcasing his freestyle rap. Singh sarcastically commented, "Aise lyrics likhwane hai bass taqdeer ban jayegi meri (Such lyrics will make my fortune)," accompanied by a laughing emoji.
Honey Singh and Badshah's Feud Resurfaces
Honey Singh’s latest comment has reignited the tension between the two rappers, who have a history of public disagreements. Fans of both artists have been buzzing about this latest development, as it seemed last year that the feud had been put to rest. Honey Singh and Badshah, who were once part of the rap group Mafia Mundeer alongside Raftaar, Ikka, and Lil Golu, parted ways after internal conflicts in 2012.
The clip Honey Singh posted featured Badshah rapping, “Dilli ka golgappa, Mumbai se bhelpuri, Chandigarh ki lassi ko gadd gadd pi jaate hai,” during a performance with Indian Idol judges Vishal Dadlani and Shreya Ghoshal. Singh’s sarcastic remark was a clear dig at the simplicity of Badshah’s lyrics.
A History of Conflict
The fallout between Honey Singh and Badshah dates back over a decade when Mafia Mundeer disbanded. The group had produced hit tracks like Khol Botal and Delhi Ke Deewane, and both rappers went on to have successful solo careers. However, public spats and subtle diss tracks have been a constant in their relationship.
In an earlier interview, Honey Singh had revealed that Badshah’s family once approached him for a collaboration, but he refused. Singh also noted that Raftaar, another former Mafia Mundeer member, has released more diss tracks aimed at him than Badshah, although he respects Raftaar’s talent.
Honey Singh's Mental Health
While Honey Singh’s latest comment seems to have stirred the pot, Badshah has yet to respond publicly. In a podcast appearance, Badshah had previously expressed empathy for Honey Singh’s struggles with health issues, stating, “It’s unfortunate what Honey Singh went through. As an artist, especially one as big as he is, protecting your mental health is essential. It’s a glamorous story on the outside, but the pain that comes with it isn’t worth it.”
Badshah himself has been open about the pressures of maintaining success in the music industry, acknowledging the mental toll that fame can take on an artist. "You have to maintain your sanity, especially when you’re playing at such a major level," he noted, adding that every move matters in the high-stakes game of the entertainment industry.
Despite this recent exchange, neither rapper has confirmed whether this will lead to a more public continuation of their feud or if it will fizzle out like previous altercations. Fans are eagerly awaiting a response from Badshah, who has remained silent on the matter so far. However, if history is any indication, this may just be the beginning of another chapter in the long-running rivalry between two of India's biggest music icons.
