Badshah breaks silence on Diljit Dosanjh's alcohol controversy

Bollywood Rapper Badshah has extended his support to Diljit Dosanjh for the ongoing debate over Diljit's controversial songs.

The social media users sparked an outrage over the singer's alcohol-themed songs. But, Badshah called out the netizens for their apparent double standards in targeting musicians, while the liquor is being sold almost everywhere in the country.

During an Interview with Sahitya Aaj Tak, the Soulmate vocalist expressed unity with the Case singer's recent remarks that he would stop performing alcohol-related songs the moment liquor stores shut down nationwide.

The 40-year-old made these statements after being advised to avoid singing tracks that endorse alcohol at one of his shows.

"He is totally right. You are telling him not to sing or make songs about alcohol but then you're selling liquor everywhere."

"Why shouldn't they be made? An artist represents society and that's what makes them relevant and the reason why people love them. They speak about things that the whole world wants to say," the 39-year-old added.

On the work front, Badshah marked his commercial success after the release of DJ Waley Babu.

The song became a massive hit, gaining over 50 Million views in 24 hours of release.
