Rapper Badshah responded to criticism regarding his latest track, “Titiri,” emphasizing his pride in being a Haryanvi and clarifying that he did not intend to portray children or women negatively in the song. He explained that as a Hip-Hop artist, his lyrics are often aimed at rivals.
In a video shared on Instagram, Badshah acknowledged the backlash from Haryana residents over the song’s lyrics and visuals. He expressed his deep connection to Haryana through language, food, lifestyle, and identity, emphasizing his respect for the culture. Badshah apologized if his work had offended anyone, asking for forgiveness as a son of Haryana.
Following a notice from the Haryana State Women’s Commission, Badshah is required to appear on March 13 to provide a statement. The notice stemmed from complaints by Savita Arya and Shiv Kumar, objecting to specific lyrics in the song and alleging inappropriate portrayal of minor girls in school attire.
