June 8, 2025, New Delhi: Bollywood’s rap stalwarts are once again at the center of a heated exchange, after rapper Badshah’s controversial remark about international pop sensation Dua Lipa sparked backlash—and lightning-fast responses from none other than Honey Singh.
It all began when Badshah, in a video clip that quickly went viral, declared he'd "rather make babies with her", referring to Dua Lipa. The remark was widely criticized as inappropriate and objectifying, triggering a wave of disapproval online (livemint.com).
Facing mounting criticism, Badshah attempted to clarify his intent, saying: "I think one of the most beautiful compliments you can give a woman you really admire is to wish for her to mother your children. Meri soch nahi, tumhari soch saamne aayi hai" (“Not my thoughts, but your thinking came forward”) (hindustantimes.com).
However, his explanation failed to quell the uproar, instead drawing further ridicule. Enter Honey Singh, who weighed in via an Instagram post simply stating: “Genius” — a succinct yet biting sarcasm, accompanied by laughing and clapping emojis (news.abplive.com).
Fans quickly acknowledged Honey Singh’s pointed tone—one commented, “Paaji using sarcasm,” while another added, “Paaji tussi great ho,” complete with laughter emojis (hindustantimes.com).
This latest interaction is just the newest episode in the long-standing rivalry between the two rappers. Both were once members of the rap collective Mafia Mundeer, alongside artists like Raftaar, Ikka, and Lil Golu. Their partnership fractured publicly years ago, and since then they’ve exchanged veiled—and occasionally not-so-veiled—jabs in public forums (hindustantimes.com).
Notably, Badshah appeared to signal a desire to reconcile at a 2024 concert in Dehradun, where he stated he was ready to let go of the past feud and “wished [Honey Singh] all the best” (hindustantimes.com).
Still, Honey Singh’s recent quip suggests there's little closure on his end—rivalry or not, the band might be broken, but the barbs remain strong. Meanwhile, professionally, both continue to thrive: Honey Singh’s tracks “Laal Pari” (from Housefull 5) and “Money Money” (Raid 2) are chart success stories, while Badshah has been praised for his performance in “Galiyon Ke Ghalib,” showcasing his dancing skills (hindustantimes.com).
What lies ahead? Fans are closely watching for Badshah’s next move—will he respond in kind, take the high road, or ignore the jabs? Meanwhile, Honey Singh’s sharp canine wit has once again stolen the spotlight.
