In the realm of rap, Badshah and Honey Singh have long been hailed as masters of their craft. Badshah’s chart-topping hits like “Kala Chashma,” “Let’s Nacho,” “Kar Gayi Chul,” and “Jugnu” have left audiences grooving, while Honey Singh’s classics such as “Brown Rang,” “Sunny Sunny,” “Desi Kalakaar,” and “Love Dose” have aged like fine wine. However, behind the scenes, these two talented artists have found themselves at odds. Recently, Badshah shed light on his strained relationship with Honey Singh and the eventual disintegration of the celebrated rap group, Mafia Mundeer.
Badshah’s Rift with Honey Singh
The Formation of Mafia Mundeer
Mafia Mundeer was a collective that brought together a group of gifted rappers, including Raftaar, Lil’ Golu, Ikka, Badshah, and Honey Singh. Reflecting on his time with Mafia Mundeer, Badshah revealed that a conflict arose between him and Honey Singh, leading to a breakdown in communication. Badshah expressed his disappointment as Honey Singh became increasingly focused on his own career, disregarding the contributions of other members within the music collective.
Ignored Calls and Self-Centered Behavior
Recalling those days, Badshah shared, “Mafia Mundeer was an idea, where like-minded individuals came together. Initially, it was just Honey and me. However, in 2009, a rift developed between us. I was working a regular job at the time, and I felt anxious. Honey seemed to have disappeared, and whenever I tried to reach out, he evaded my calls.” Badshah went on to highlight Honey Singh’s self-centered attitude towards the other members of Mafia Mundeer. He claimed that Honey Singh failed to acknowledge the struggles they faced, even coercing them into signing “blank contracts” that never materialized. Badshah referred to this phase as one of the most challenging periods of his life.
Honey Singh’s Focus on His Own Career
“We created songs together, but they were never released. Honey was solely focused on his own career,” lamented Badshah. Addressing Honey Singh, he pleaded, “We are also putting in so much effort, please consider us as well. We have left everything behind to pursue this path. You, Honey, should not be so self-centered. On one hand, you call us brothers, but on the other, you fail to acknowledge the struggles we face. What about those contracts you made us sign?”
The Dismantling of Mafia Mundeer
Badshah’s first collaborative rap song with Honey Singh, “Get Up Jawani,” was released in 2011. While Mafia Mundeer produced several successful tracks, the group eventually disbanded, performing together for the last time in 2012.
