Indian rapper Badshah has found himself in the midst of a heated controversy after the release of his latest track, Sanak.

As the controversy against the rapper-singer continues, Badshah has issued a public apology for “unintentionally hurting people’s sentiments”.
On Monday, he addressed the ongoing backlash via Instagram, promising that measures were in place to replace some parts of the fad. Badshah announced that he has already processed the replacement but it will take a few days for the new version to appear on digital platforms.
What went wrong with the fad?
Released a month ago, Sunak’s lyrics feature Badshah rapping about his personal disputes, while his journey to fame is enmeshed in a web of lies and struggles. At one point in the song, he uses profanity just before the mention of Lord Bholenath. This did not go down well with the fans and a senior pastor pulled up the rapper.
According to ANI, the senior priest demanded Badshah to remove the mention of Bholenath from his track and also asked him to apologize for his mistake. It is reported that the senior priest may even file an official FIR against the musician. Amidst the controversy, Badshah clarified that he had no intention to hurt anyone. “It has been brought to my notice that one of my recent releases, Sanak, has hurt the sentiments of some people. I will never hurt anyone’s sentiments knowingly or unknowingly. I bring my artistic creations and musical compositions to you, my fans, with utmost sincerity and passion.”
Badshah has offered his “sincere” apology while promising to make some changes to the track. He has asked fans to lend him a few days before the new version of Sanak is released on the digital platform. Badshah insisted that he holds his fans to the highest standard. Regards requesting patience for commission replacement.
“In light of this recent development, I have taken proactive steps to replace certain parts of the song and replace it with this new version on all digital platforms to avoid hurting anyone. It takes a few days for the change process to be reflected on all platforms, I request everyone to be patient during this period. I humbly apologize to those whom I have unintentionally hurt. My fans remain my cornerstone, and I will always hold them in the highest regard and immense affection.”
Sunak has so far received 22 million views on YouTube. In early April, he also performed the track during his concert in Indore.
