Famous Indian rapper Badshah has taken a major step towards ending his long-standing rivalry with fellow rapper Honey Singh. For over 15 years, the two stars have been at odds, and their cold war has caught the attention of fans and media alike. But now, Badshah has spoken out and expressed his desire to leave the past behind and move forward.
The History of Their Dispute
The rift between Badshah and Honey Singh began in 2009 when both rappers left their music group Mafia Mundeer. The group also included popular artists like Raftaar, Ikka, and Lil Golu. The split marked the start of a long-standing feud between Badshah and Honey Singh, and their professional rivalry intensified over the years. Things got worse when Honey Singh made a public comment comparing Badshah to a Nano car, which many saw as a direct insult. This remark led to growing tensions between the two artists.
Badshah’s Change of Heart
In a surprising turn of events, Badshah recently opened up about his feelings regarding the feud. During an event in Dehradun, Badshah spoke candidly about the mental toll the rivalry had taken on him. He revealed that holding on to the past was weighing him down, and he decided that it was time to let go of the anger and move forward.
Badshah said, “I have carried this unnecessary burden for many years. It has become a mental load for me, and I realize it’s no longer needed in my life.” He went on to explain that while this fight once motivated him, it later started to affect his well-being, and he felt it was important to release it for his mental peace.
Badshah Expresses Concern for Honey Singh’s Health
One of the key moments that signaled Badshah’s desire to end the feud was when he spoke about Honey Singh’s health. In a recent interaction, Badshah mentioned that he wished Honey Singh a full recovery from his health issues. This comment was seen as a gesture of goodwill, indicating that Badshah was ready to move on and wished no harm to his former friend.
He shared, “I don’t want to hold any enmity with anyone. I don’t understand why this fight continued for so long. I just want to focus on my music and mental peace now.”
Honey Singh’s Stand on the Feud
Interestingly, Honey Singh had spoken about the issue just a while ago, but his stance seemed different. In an interview with Lallantop, Honey Singh made it clear that he wasn’t keen on collaborating with Badshah in the future. Instead, he expressed interest in working with artists like Raftaar, Lil Golu, and Ikka, praising them as rising stars from the streets.
When asked about his strained relationship with Badshah, Honey Singh responded, “One gets angry with one’s own people, not with strangers or clients.” This statement hinted that Honey Singh still harbored some personal feelings about the situation, despite Badshah’s desire to bury the hatchet.

Speaking about his decision to let go, Badshah said, “This fight felt like a tumor, growing slowly and affecting both my present and future. I’ve decided to not let it affect me anymore.” He acknowledged that carrying such baggage for so long wasn’t healthy for him, and he felt it was time to move on for the sake of his mental peace and happiness.
