Badshah On Backlash Over "Making Babies With Dua Lipa" Remark: "It Was One Of The Most Beautiful Compliments..."
New Delhi:
Rapper Badshah is facing backlash on social media after making a comment about singer Dua Lipa.
What
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Badshah wrote that he'd "rather make babies with her," which sparked widespread criticism online.
Following the reaction, the rapper took to the platform again to clarify his statement.
Badshah did not apologise but defended his words. "I think one of the most beautiful compliments that you could give to a woman that you really admire is to wish for her to mother to your children. Meri soch nahi tumhari soch saamne aayi hai (Not mine but your thinking has been exposed) (sic)," he wrote.
Background
The controversy began on June 6, when Badshah tweeted "Dua Lipa" along with a red heart emoji. Fans began speculating about a possible collaboration between the two artists.
However, the tone changed after Badshah responded to one of the comments, saying, "I'd rather make babies with her bro," which led to criticism. The original post has not been deleted.
Meanwhile, Badshah has also been in the news for his physical transformation. In May, the rapper shared shirtless photos of himself, revealing a leaner look.
In an earlier conversation with actor Shilpa Shetty, Badshah had spoken about his motivation behind the weight loss. "I had many reasons for dropping weight. We did no shows during the lockdown. The shows then abruptly began to open. When I got up on stage, I knew I didn't have the stamina. 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," he said.
On the personal front, Badshah has also been linked to actor Tara Sutaria in recent months. However, neither of them has commented on the rumours.
In A Nutshell
Rapper Badshah faced backlash for a controversial comment about Dua Lipa, saying he'd "rather make babies with her." He later defended his remark, calling it a compliment. Meanwhile, he's also in the spotlight for his physical transformation and ongoing dating rumours with Tara Sutaria.

‘Squid Game's most terrifying game yet—and what we know about the possible spin-off series
With a new season of the iconic survival drama approaching, fresh revelations have emerged from creator and director Hwang Dong Hyuk—unveiling a game that promises to be the most harrowing yet, along with early insights into a potential Squid Game spin-off. On June 4, the official Squid Game X (formerly Twitter) page shared a video featuring director Hwang, cast members from season 3, and season 2 actor T.O.P. reacting to the trailer for the upcoming season. In the video, the director introduced what he calls 'the most dramatic and impactful game across all the seasons'—a high-stakes version of hide-and-seek. In this chilling new challenge, players are divided into two teams: blue and red. One group plays the role of attackers, while the other becomes defenders. Set inside a confined space with a ceiling painted like a starry sky, the setting's serene beauty stands in stark contrast to the brutal game that is about to unfold. The stakes appear to be higher than ever. Fan theories have already dubbed the game 'worse than marbles'—a reference to the emotionally devastating game in season one, where players were forced to compete in pairs, often leading to betrayal and loss. The Squid Game page even responded to one such fan post with a cryptic eye emoji, further fueling speculation that this hide-and-seek variant will be soul-crushing in its intensity. While no spin-off has been officially confirmed, Hwang Dong Hyuk hasn't ruled out the possibility. Speaking at the 2025 Gotham Television Awards, he teased his concept for a side story. 'If I make a spin-off, it will be a story happening between season 1 and 2. There was a three-year gap between the two seasons, so I want to show what happened during that time,' he said. As fans wait eagerly for the next installment, one thing is clear: Squid Game isn't just returning—it's aiming to shake audiences like never before.
