Recently, Badshah has surprised fans by showing off a noticeably leaner and fitter frame. The rapper, who is known for tracks like DJ Waley Babu, Genda Phool, and Mercy, revealed his struggles with stamina during live performances. Speaking to Shilpa Shetty on her wellness show, he said, 'My work involves me moving around for 120 minutes or so when performing on stage," adding that earlier he would start panting just 15 minutes in.
As his photos began circulating online, some speculated whether the rapper had used weight-loss medication like Ozempic. Addressing the rumors, Badshah firmly denied taking any shortcuts. He credited his transformation to consistent workouts and a healthier lifestyle. According to reports, he has lost more than 20 kilograms.
On the professional front, Badshah has been actively releasing music. His recent tracks include Naina, Khwabida, Gore Gore Mukhde Pe, and Gori Hai Kalaiyan. The 39-year-old artist, who initially rose to fame with DJ Waley Babu in 2018, also tried his hand at acting with the 2019 film Khandani Shafakhana, co-starring Sonakshi Sinha and Varun Sharma.

For the fake sports news media it's Colin Kaepernick!' - In August 2016, Steve Wyche, Chief National Reporter for the NFL, wrote, 'San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has willingly immersed himself into controversy by refusing to stand for the playing of the national anthem in protest of what he deems are wrongdoings against African Americans and minorities in the United States. ' A second fan said, 'Aaron Rodgers' - Is it for signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers or for never giving up on Ayahuasca Retreat?

My job requires me to be active for approximately 120 minutes when performing on stage. I didn't have the stamina; I started panting after just 15 minutes. As a performer, I have to give my best. That was a major reason.'
