Badshah on rift with Honey Singh

Now, in an interview with Raj Shamani, Badshah has broken his silence on his rift with Honey Singh and said, “Mafia Mundeer was a thought, and like-minded people got together. Primarily it was just me and Honey. In 2009, there was a break between me and Honey. I used to do a job and I was very scared. Honey was also off my radar and when I tried calling him, he dodged my calls. But till the time we were in Mafia Mundeer, we never met. If we had met, maybe things would have been different.”

Honey Singh was ‘self-centered’

Then, talking about Honey Singh, the singer added in the podcast, “We made songs but they were not released. Honey was just concentrating on his career. I was associated with Mafia Mundeer since 2006, and by 2009, my parents were very worried about me. In 2011, my first song with Honey came out Get Up Jawani… We are also creating so many songs, please consider us as well. We have left everything behind and come here. You (Honey) should not be so self-centered. On the one hand, you call us brothers, but on the other, you fail to acknowledge our struggles. He made us sign blank papers; what about those contracts? It was a tough phase.”

Badshah also teased about working on his new album during the same podcast. He said that he has been working on new music and is excited to share a few single tracks with his fans. In May this year, Badshah had issued an apology after many people raised objections to the lyrics of his song Sanak.
