The long-standing rivalry between popular rappers Badshah and Honey Singh has once again flared up, with Badshah reigniting their “credits” war online.
The Recent Spark
Just when many thought the feud might be cooling down, Badshah took to X (formerly Twitter) to stir the pot. The latest exchange began when a fan of Honey Singh posted about his physical transformation, asking, “What did he eat?”
Badshah’s response was a single, pointed word: “Credits.” This cheeky reply immediately brought back memories of his past claims that he wrote lyrics for Honey Singh’s hit tracks like “Brown Rang” and “Angrezi Beat.”
Roots of the Rivalry: Mafia Mundeer
The bad blood between the two artists dates back years. Both Badshah and Honey Singh started their careers as part of the influential rap group Mafia Mundeer. This group also included other well-known names like Ikka, Lil Golu, and Raftaar.
Mafia Mundeer was responsible for popular tracks such as “Khol Botal,” “Begani Naar Buri,” and “Delhi Ke Deewane.” However, the group eventually disbanded following a major fallout between Honey Singh and Badshah, setting the stage for their long-running public dispute.
Badshah’s Olive Branch (and its Rejection)
Earlier in 2024, fans had a moment of hope for reconciliation. During a concert in Dehradun, Badshah paused his performance to publicly express his desire to end their 15-year-long feud. He admitted to holding a grudge due to misunderstandings and stated his wish to move past it, acknowledging that “Jodne waale bahut kam the, todne waale bahut the” (There were more people trying to break us apart than unite us).
However, Honey Singh did not welcome this apology. In an interview, he firmly rejected Badshah’s gesture, claiming that for a decade, Badshah had continuously abused him, mocked his illness, and made songs targeting him, while he himself remained silent.
Honey Singh stated he only began responding in 2024 because of pressure from his fans. He called Badshah “one of those who spits and then licks it back,” expressing his doubt about the sincerity and permanence of Badshah’s apology.
