Raftaar and Palash Sen collab

A clip from Motoverse 2025 featuring rapper Raftaar and Euphoria frontman Palash Sen performing Linkin Park’s iconic track In The End has ignited a fiery debate online. The video, which shows the duo vibing and attempting a spirited cover of the rock classic, quickly went viral, but not for the reasons they may have hoped.

While several fans appreciated the unexpected crossover, others were quick to mock the rendition, calling it an unintentional comedy moment. One sarcastic jab that took over the comments section was the now-viral line, “Linkin Park from Meesho.”

But reactions weren’t all negative. Many listeners jumped in to defend the performance, particularly praising Raftaar’s delivery.

One fan wrote, "Raftaar actually did great. Euphoria didn't. But Raftaar was actually very good."

Another reminded critics to chill, commenting, "i dont see whats wrong here they’re enjoying the music and sharing it with others, its beautiful"

Some fans highlighted the cultural crossover, drawing parallels to global artists experimenting across languages, "@raftaarmusic is goated as is @euphoriabandvaale. And I don't see Linkin Park cover Euphoria yet. When Ed Sheeran sings in Hindi — he’s not perfect right? Theek hai bhai accents are different. Emotions are same na."

Others embraced the performance as a celebration of nostalgia and musical fusion, "This is so fucking cool! A desi Hindi singer and one of the coolest desi rappers covering a childhood anthem by one of the most influential rock and roll bands, India sure is progressing "

Amid all the trolling, many users insisted the hate was unnecessary, "To me it sounds good… I would vibe… calling it Meesho is too much.”

One more commenter summed up the mood of the supporters, "It’s all about the feels people. @raftaarmusic brilliant. @instadhoom always high in spirits as always. "

The clip has now become one of the most polarising viral moments of Motoverse 2025 with some laughing, some defending, and many simply vibing. In true internet fashion, the debate over Raftaar and Palash Sen’s tribute to Chester Bennington continues, proving once again that no cover of In The End ever really ends.
