Summary
- Badshah's song 'Tateeree' faced backlash for vulgar lyrics and video.
- A complaint led to a lookout notice against the rapper.
- Rapper Santy Sharma defended Badshah, citing hip-hop genre norms.
Rapper Badshah faced significant online backlash following the release of his song 'Tateeree' on March 1. The song's lyrics and video were criticized for being vulgar, obscene, and containing suggestive double entendres, with particular concern raised over imagery involving school-uniformed girls.
This controversy escalated quickly, prompting a formal complaint at a police station in Haryana. Accusations focused on offensive language and imagery deemed potentially corrupting to young audiences. Consequently, a lookout notice was issued for Badshah.
In reaction to the widespread criticism and growing tension, Badshah issued an apology via Instagram. He expressed regret for the hurt caused, especially to his community in Haryana, and announced the immediate removal of 'Tateeree' from all social media platforms.
Despite the apology and song removal, fellow rapper Santy Sharma voiced his support for Badshah. Sharma cited common practices within the rap genre and suggested a lack of understanding of hip-hop among Indian listeners as contributing factors to the misunderstanding.
