Honey Singh’s musical rival, rapper Badshah’s name was recently linked to a sensational social media racket of creating fake ‘followers and likes’, after Mumbai Police investigated into the matter probing at least 20 prominent personalities including the latter.
Badshah had subsequently confessed to spending Rs 72 lakh to garner 7.2 crore views for his song “Paagal”, in an attempt to create a world record.
Without taking anyone’s name, Honey Singh told IANS: “I have heard a lot of rumours about rappers who have bought fake views for their songs. I want to say that when I started my career and I was getting popular people had made many accusations.”
He said these are just allegations and nothing has been proved, for us to jump to a conclusion.
This is a mark of progress, and artistes you are talking about have such allegations on them. It’s a congratulation from my side to them because they are progressing and these are just allegations, so I can’t say anymore on it,” he added.
On the work front, Honey Singh recently released his new track “Billo tu agg”. The song is the latest in the non-film circuit that Honey Singh has worked on with Singhsta, after “Makhna”.
