Badshah's Team Denies His Dallas Show's Alleged Link To Pakistan: "He Uses Music As A Bridge For..."
Rapper Badshah's team has issued a clarification following concerns raised by FWICE over his upcoming show in Dallas being allegedly sponsored by a Pakistani company.
Recently, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) wrote an official letter to Badshah, seeking clarification regarding the Dallas leg of Badshah's much-anticipated Unfinished USA Tour 2025, scheduled for September.
"Dear Mr. Badshah, It has come to our attention that you are scheduled to perform in an upcoming event Badshah Un-Finished Tour at the Curtis Culwell Centre in Dallas, USA, on the 19th of Sept 2025 which is reportedly being sponsored by 3Sixty Shows, a company owned and operated by Pakistani nationals," the letter read.
Now, on Monday, Badshah's management issued a statement firmly rejecting any such association.
"Badshah and his management team unequivocally confirm that the Unfinished USA Tour 2025 is being conducted through a U.S.-based event agency operating under fully transparent contractual terms.
"The tour is exclusively managed by Manish Sood of Intense Entertainment, who acts as the sole promoter and point of contact, handling all operational aspects including venue bookings, sponsorships, accommodations, and logistics. Badshah remains steadfast in his mission to use music as a bridge for cultural exchange and unity, ensuring his work remains entirely independent of geopolitical influences."
Also, Badshah's legal team issued a detailed clarification to FWICE on August 16, 2025.
"The artist is not privy to nor involved in any financial arrangements beyond those explicitly outlined in his performance contract. In a commitment to transparency, Badshah's legal counsel has provided comprehensive clarification to FWICE on 16th August 2025, reaffirming his professional integrity and allowing him to dedicate his full attention to his artistic endeavors. This statement underscores Badshah's dedication to maintaining ethical standards while continuing to inspire global audiences through his music," the statement read.
Intense Entertainment, the tour promoter, also addressed the issue, confirming the Dallas venue was secured under their company's name.
They said, "To ensure seamless execution, we have enlisted the support of 3Sixty Shows--a U.S.-based event management firm owned and led by President and CEO Chloe Jones--to assist with marketing and on-ground logistics. All venue bookings, hotel reservations, flight arrangements, and ancillary logistics for the tour have been coordinated directly through Intense Entertainment, in strict compliance with local regulations and industry best practices."
"We remain fully committed to transparency and cooperation with FWICE to address any concerns and ensure the integrity of our events," the promoters added.
Badshah is scheduled to perform in Dallas, USA on September 19.

‘Class and decency aren't his strengths,' ‘Always resort to personal attacks': Kaneria slams Pakistan teammate Afridi, backs Irfan Pathan
Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria has voiced his support for ex-India cricketer Irfan Pathan when he opened up on his heated exchange with former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi. The all-rounder from Baroda divulged that Afridi often tried to provoke him with sharp remarks and personal comments while highlighting some of the intense moments they shared both on and off the field. Coming in Irfan's support is Afridi's teammate in the Pakistan cricket team, Kaneria, who said Afridi has always resorted to 'personal attacks' and that 'class and decency are not his strengths'. 'Irfan bhai, you're absolutely right. He always resorts to personal attacks, be it on someone's family or their religion. Class and decency clearly aren't his strengths,' Kaneria posted on X, formerly Twitter. Earlier, Pathan narrated an incident from the 2006 Pakistan tour, when both the Indian and Pakistani teams were flying together from Karachi to Lahore. 'During the 2006 tour, we were flying from Karachi to Lahore. Both teams were travelling together. Afridi came and put his hand on my head and messed up my hair. He asked me, 'How are you kid?'' Pathan recalled during the interview with Lallantop. 'I thought since when did you become my father. He behaved like a child. I was neither talking to him nor saying anything. After this Afridi said some bad things to me. His seat was near mine.' Irfan explained how he responded, which silenced Afridi for the rest of the flight. 'Pakistan allrounder Abdul Razzaq was sitting with me then. I asked him what kind of meat is available here. He told me meat of different animals are available. After this I asked whether dog meat is available. Razzaq was surprised to hear me and said, 'Hey Irfan why are you saying this?' To this, Pathan replied: ''He (Afridi) has eaten dog meat, he has been barking for so long'. 'After this Afridi could not say anything. If he said anything I would have said look he is barking more,' recalled Pathan with a chuckle.

Last Updated: Harshvardhan Rane urged fans not to order food amid heavy Mumbai rains, sharing a photo of a struggling delivery guy. Sanam Teri Kasam actor Harshvardhan Rane, on his Instagram, shared a story urging his fans not to order food from outside in Mumbai amid heavy rains. It has been pouring heavily in Mumbai for the last two days, and on Monday, the authorities issued a red alert. It has been quite difficult for people to move around, and amid this, several delivery guys have been struggling to travel. Addressing this issue, Rane put out a story. Sharing a picture of a delivery guy struggling with his two-wheeler submerged halfway in the water, Harshvardhan wrote, 'Guys pls make your own food today (sic)." Check out the post below. Mumbai has been facing waterlogging issues in many areas. Earlier, Sasural Simar Ka fame actor Dipika Kakar took to Instagram to salute the Mumbai Police as they rescued kids stuck in the rain. Sharing the video on her story, she wrote, 'Mumbai Police, this is so heartwarming to watch! A big salute to these policemen!!!" About Mumbai Rains Mumbai woke up once again to heavy rainfall on Monday, as waterlogged roads in several parts of the city led to traffic jams and tree collapses. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a red alert for Mumbai, upgrading it from orange. The weather department said a heavy to very heavy spell of rain was likely at a few places in Mumbai, with extremely heavy rainfall in isolated areas. About Harshvardhan Rane Rane is widely known for his film Sanam Teri Kasam, co-starring Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane. While Sanam Teri Kasam 2 was confirmed previously, Harshvardhan Rane later stepped down from the sequel if the producers went ahead with the same cast after Hocane's statement about India's Pakistan sindoor. Sanam Teri Kasam originally hit theatres in 2016. However, back then, it failed to leave a mark at the box office and earned hardly Rs 9 crore, but later gained iconic status. The actor is back in the spotlight with his upcoming romantic-action film Silaa. Silaa is being directed by Omung Kumar, the National Award-winning filmmaker known for the Priyanka Chopra-led biopic Mary Kom (2014). The film also stars Sadia Khateeb, Karanveer Mehra, and Ipsitaa in key roles. The screenplay is penned by Sameer Joshi, with dialogues written by Aarambh M. Singh.
