Yo Yo Honey Singh has responded sharply to an old video featuring his former collaborator Badshah, in which the latter had once discussed how he arrived at his stage name. Honey Singh’s witty jab came after the clip began circulating online again, triggered by Badshah’s latest appearance on comedian Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent. Reacting to the resurfaced video, Honey Singh referred to Badshah as his “gandi aulaad,” reigniting a feud between the two rappers that has simmered for years.
Badshah’s appearance on ‘India’s Got Latent bonus episode
The latest bonus episode of ‘India’s Got Latent’, released on August 10, 2026 exclusively for YouTube channel members, featured Badshah alongside host-writer Haarsh Limbachiyaa, social media influencer Sourav Joshi, and comedian Rajat Sood. During the episode, Samay Raina broke into a short comic song following a contestant’s performance and also asked Badshah about the origin of his stage name, a question that sent viewers digging up an older clip involving Honey Singh.
Samay Raina’s cheeky song nods to the Honey Singh-Badshah feud
Right after a contestant wrapped up their act, Samay took the microphone, cracked a light joke about tuning it, and broke into an impromptu song. The clip was soon shared on X with the caption noting how Samay had roasted Badshah, capturing his reactions in the process. As part of the song, Samay referenced being a Yo Yo Honey Singh fan before mentioning “Brown Rang”, a nod that viewers quickly connected to the long-standing rift between Honey Singh and Badshah.
Honey Singh and Badshah’s history of credit disputes
Before parting ways professionally, Badshah and Honey Singh were once part of the same hip-hop collective, Mafia Mundeer. Their fallout has since led to repeated public disagreements over song credits, with both artistes staking claim to different elements of their earlier collaborative work. The track “Brown Rang” remains central to the dispute, with Badshah maintaining that the lyrics were his contribution while Honey Singh insists the beats were his own. Tensions resurfaced as recently as July 2025, when Badshah left a pointed “Credits” comment on a Honey Singh-related social media post.

As the clip gained renewed traction online, Honey Singh reposted it on his Instagram Stories with the caption “Meri gandi aulaad,” reigniting the long-simmering feud once again.
