Honey Singh further said in the interview that Badshah mocked his mental illness and targeted him through the lyrics of his songs.
“People often ask me about my controversy with Badshah. A fight happens between two people when both are involved, but for 10 years, one man kept abusing me, making songs about me, mocking my illness, and I never responded,” said the Brown Rang singer.
Honey Singh said he only spoke up when his fans made him aware of what Badshah was upto.
“It was only this year that I started speaking up, and that too because of my fans. My fans sent me DMs saying, ‘Please speak up, this is about our dignity now. A man (Badshah) is continuously speaking ill about you.’ As a result, he apologised and admitted his mistake. But he is one of those who spits and then licks it back; just watch, he’ll flip again. I don’t consider people like that to be anything,” he added.
Honey Singh had taken a dig at Badshah when he was seen at an episode of India’s Best Dancer vs Super Dancer: Champions Ka Tashan. He had slammed haters without naming Badshah.
“First of all, I’m not even in the rap scene. I write a little, I sing a little. Jo main karta hu, mujhse behtar karne waale kam hai aur mujhse bekaar karne waale bahut saare. Mujh jaisa karne waala koi nahi hai, toh mera koi competition nahi hai. Half of them are my own descendants. Dekho mere haters ko hate mat karo, wo meri hi aulaade hai, woh meri hi hai nustle, kabhi karte the judge hustle,” he said.
Honey Singh and Badshah were members of the rap group Mafia Mundeer and started their career together. But later parted ways due to a very public fight and since then the two have not been talking at all.
