Samay picked up the microphone, joked about tuning it, and began to sing. The crowd laughed when he sang, “Yo Yo Honey Singh ka fan hoon main,” which many saw as a playful jab at Badshah. He went on with, “Karta maa-behen hoon main. Mere saare ang dekho, gana Brown Rang dekho.”

What Is The Main Cause of the Rift Between Honey Singh and Badshah?

Honey Singh Reacts to Badshah's Stage Name: The joke stood out even more because the song is tied to the feud between Honey and Badshah.

Both artists were once part of the hip-hop group Mafia Mundeer, but their partnership ended.

Since then, they have disagreed several times over songs, especially about who should get credit for lyrics and beats.

One of their biggest arguments was over the song "Brown Rang". Badshah claimed he wrote the lyrics, while Honey made the beats.

The issue came up again in July 2025, when Badshah commented “Credits” on a social media post about Honey.

Indian Rapper Reveals The Real Reason Behind the Name ‘Badshah’

Badshah has long admired Shah Rukh Khan and has previously given the reason for his stage name.

His real name is Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia, and he first performed under the name Cool Equal.

When appearing on Season 13 of Kaun Banega Crorepati in 2021, Badshah stated that it was Shah Rukh Khan who inspired him to change his name, since, as a great fan, he wanted to take on the name after Badshah was released in 1999.

From Bipolar Disorder and Addiction to New Music: Yo Yo Honey Singh’s Battle and Comeback

Yo Yo Honey Singh reached the height of his career in 2012, but things changed for him soon after.

After releasing his hit song Desi Kalakaar, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and started facing personal struggles. In 2017, news came out that he broke down during a tour.

He chose to step away from music, quit substances, and moved back to Delhi to begin his recovery with support from doctors and therapists around the world.

In an interview with media, Honey Singh openly talked about his heavy drug and alcohol use, sharing that he often smoked 12 to 15 joints and drank heavily.

He said he grew distant from his family and lost control over his actions. He even remembered being so intoxicated once that he bit a friend.

After taking time off, Honey Singh made a comeback in 2023 with Kalaastar, a sequel to Desi Kalakaar featuring Sonakshi Sinha.

Lately, he has been busy touring, has released his album 51 Glorious Days, and has sung Jhoom Sharabi for the film De De Pyaar De 2, starring Ajay Devgn.
