Badshah's North America Tour grosses over Rs 52 Crore across the US; becomes the first Indian Hip Hop artist to do so worldwide

With a $2 million production budget, it was the most extravagant stagecraft in the history of Indian hip-hop tours, setting a new record.

Marking a milestone moment, Badshah’s ‘The Unfinished Tour’ took North America by storm—grossing over $ 6 million dollars in ticket sales and drawing over 45,000 fans across global arenas in New Jersey, Virginia, Oakland, Seattle, Dallas and Chicago.

With a $2 million production budget, it was the most extravagant stagecraft in the history of Indian hip-hop tours, setting a new record.

The singer-songwriter, music producer, and rapper captivated audiences of all ages with a remarkable performance, which included special cameos by Nora Fatehi, Mickey Singh, and Bohemia as well as on-tour support acts Aastha Gill and Badal.

Crucially, he mobilised international support for victims of recent natural disasters in Punjab and Himachal by using his platform.

Like Diljit Dosanjh's breakthrough for Punjabi music and Arijit Singh's accomplishments for Hindi music, Badshah, who comes from a modest family, started with a pay cheque of just 200 and has since risen to the top of Indian hip hop. He is now among the country's richest and most prolific rappers and the first to establish a standard for Indian hip-hop on the global scene.

Professionally, Badshah has been influencing the world of fashion by strategically attending New York Fashion Week and Paris Men's Fashion Week.

This year, besides releasing new independent music and Bollywood tracks, he will be exploring global brand partnerships.
