The origin of rapper Badshah's stage name has been clarified, revealing a connection to his former collaborator, Honey Singh. In an unearthed interview, Badshah explained that Honey Singh bestowed the name upon him, commenting, 'You live like a Badshah.' This statement referred to Badshah's freedom to use his phone and wake up as he pleased.

Their professional partnership eventually dissolved, leading to disagreements, particularly concerning credit for lyrics and music. These past differences have periodically resurfaced, adding tension to their history.
