BTS fans welcomed Badshah’s clarification.
Badshah explained that the lyrics of the Bloody Daddy song Issa Vibe actually had a reference to singer Just Bieber and not BTS.
Korean boy band BTS has garnered an enormous global following, known as the ARMY, whose devotion knows no bounds. These passionate fans expressed their displeasure towards Badshah, following the release of the rapper’s latest song titled Issa Vibe from the Shahid Kapoor starrer Bloody Daddy. It was revealed that the rapper had used the Punjabi word ‘bibba’ with BTS’ name, which they believed translated to a pretty woman BTS. In response to the criticism, Badshah took to his Twitter handle to offer an explanation. He wrote, “Playlist mein BAD BUNNY BTS ‘BIEBER’ (ear with hearing aid emoji),” with ‘Bieber’ referring to the popular singer Justin Bieber.

In May, Badshah faced criticism for another song titled Sanak. The lyrics of the song stirred controversy as it involved the use of Lord Shiva’s name (Bholenath) alongside some explicit words. A priest from the Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, expressed his disapproval and demanded that the rapper remove God’s name from the lyrics. The priest stated that he will file an FIR against him if the necessary changes were not made.
Following the objection, the rapper shared a note expressing his regret and stated that he never intended to offend anyone’s sentiments. In response to the controversy, the rapper claimed that he has modified certain parts of the song and initiated the process of replacing the original version with the edited one.
