Popular rapper Badshah is currently facing controversy over his new Haryanvi song Titri. The song’s lyrics and visuals have triggered a debate on social media, with several users and organizations claiming that some parts of the track contain objectionable and double-meaning content.

Amid the growing backlash, rapper Santy Sharma has come forward to support Badshah, saying that people are judging the singer without fully understanding the context of the song.

Why the Song Sparked Controversy

The song Titri was released on March 1 and soon became the subject of intense discussion online.

Some viewers and organizations alleged that:

• Certain lyrics were disrespectful to women

• The song contained double-meaning expressions

Following the criticism, complaints were reportedly filed in Haryana, and authorities began looking into the matter. As the controversy intensified, Badshah issued a public apology, and the track was reportedly removed from several platforms.

Santy Sharma’s Reaction

Defending the rapper, Santy Sharma shared a message on social media explaining that hip-hop and rap culture are often misunderstood in India.

He said that:

• Rap music frequently uses creative expressions and competitive language

• People sometimes misinterpret lyrics without understanding the genre’s context

According to him, audiences should first understand the artistic style and context before criticizing a song.

“The King Is Being Misjudged”

In his statement, Santy Sharma also suggested that sometimes audio tracks are finalized before music videos, and different teams may work on the visuals.

He added that if any lyric in the song is problematic, it can be edited or corrected, but the way Badshah is being judged without full context is unfair.

Debate on Artistic Freedom

The controversy around Titri has once again sparked a wider debate about artistic freedom versus social responsibility in the music industry.

For now, after issuing his apology, Badshah has largely avoided making further public comments while the discussion around the song continues online.
