Shillong, September 3: Rappers Raftaar and Badshah recently made a cryptic reference, possibly aimed at rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh, while joking about comebacks in the music industry during their appearance as judges on the reality show “Hip Hop India.”
As per IANS, the finale episode of the show featured this intriguing moment, which has since surfaced online, leading fans to speculate about its target.
In the video circulating on social media, Raftaar (real name: Dilin Nair) humorously asks Badshah (real name: Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia), “Bata do na kiska comeback nahi ho raha” (Tell me, whose comeback isn’t happening).
Badshah responds in jest, saying, “Banda bolta hai sarkar chor hai. Police pakar ke le jata hai usko. Woh bolta hai mujhe kiu pakra. Toh woh bolta hai tune bola sarkar chor hai. Woh bolta hai lekin maine toh bataya nhi kaunsi sarkar chor hai. Jisko yeh feel ho raha hai, usko yeh feel ho raha hai” (Someone says the government is corrupt. The police catch him. He asks, ‘Why did you arrest me?’ So, they say, ‘You said the government is corrupt.’ He says, ‘But I didn’t specify which government is corrupt.’ Whoever feels this way, feels this way).
Before their split, Raftaar, Badshah, and Yo Yo Honey Singh were part of Mafia Mundeer, a group that achieved significant success in the music industry. They collaborated on hits such as “Gabru,” “Haye Mera Dil,” “Glassi,” “Get Up Jawani,” and many more. However, over time, the three artists had public disagreements and exchanged comments about each other.
