Badshah song controversy: Badshah, on Saturday, apologized via a video on his official Instagram handle, after he was booked over alleged objectionable lyrics and visuals in his recently released Haryanvi music video, ‘Tateeree’.
“I never intended to say anything objectionable against any woman or child from Haryana, he said. I am from the Hip-hop genre where lyrics often show looking down on competitors. These are never for any woman or child, now will I do this,” Badshah said.
According to PTI, Haryana Police have initiated the process to issue a Look Out Circular against the rapper-musician to prevent him from leaving the country.
Additionally, notices have been issued to the rapper to remove the music video from all social media platforms, mentioned a police statement.
