Badshah Claims He Wrote Brown Rang, Takes A Jibe At Yo Yo Honey Singh Over Credit
A fresh flare-up has sparked in Bollywood's rap circles as Badshah defended his claim to writing Brown Rang, taking aim at longtime rival Yo Yo Honey Singh. The exchange surfaced on X (formerly Twitter) after a user tried to credit Honey Singh for the track.
When a fan cheekily wrote, 'What did he eat?" under Honey Singh's past and present pictures, Badshah shot back with a single-word retort — 'Credits." A pointed jibe alleging that Honey Singh takes credit for others' work.
When another user tried to fan tensions by saying, 'Bass kar de bhai. Ek baar tujhe support kardiye to iska matlab ye nahi har baar karenge. And again, Brown Rang Honey Singh ne hi likha hai," Badshah replied with equal sarcasm: 'Chomu, tere support ke liye nahi kar raha main ye."
Badshah has consistently made it clear in interviews that he wrote Brown Rang himself and wrote the rap for Angrezi Beat. 'In 2011, Honey Singh called me to mix a song. At that time I had written Brown Rang. He had the beat. But he had written something weird. I said that something strong should be written on it. Then I wrote Brown Rang," he said in 2024 interviews.
The fight goes beyond social media digs. Both artists rose through the ranks together as members of Mafia Mundeer—a pioneering hip-hop collective of the early 2010s that included Raftaar, Ikka, and Lil Golu alongside Badshah and Honey Singh. Hits like Khol Botal, Begani Naar Buri, and Delhi Ke Deewane defined the group.
But that alliance broke down amid credit disputes and artistic rifts, leading the rappers down solo paths. Badshah has openly accused Honey Singh of being 'self-centred", calling out practices like making collaborators sign blank contracts and failing to acknowledge their contributions.
In May 2024, Badshah hinted at a possible end to the feud at GraFest in Dehradun, saying, 'There was a phase in my life where I held this grudge against one and now, I want to call it quits and leave that grudge behind — and that's Honey Singh."

Viral Clip Shows Caddie 'Helping' Trump At Scotland Golf Course, Internet Calls Out Cheating
Last Updated: The video shows the caddie discreetly dropping a ball into a more favourable spot near a bunker, after which Trump steps out and plays from the seemingly improved position Donald Trump is no stranger to controversies. The United States President, who played 18 holes amid tight security at Turnberry, the golf resort he owns on Scotland's rugged coast, has once again found himself under the internet's scanner—this time over a video that appeared to show him cheating at the game. The now-infamous clip, widely circulated on platforms like X, appears to show a member of Trump's entourage—his caddie—discreetly dropping a golf ball into a more favourable spot near a bunker, while Trump arrives in his golf cart, The Independent reported. With a quick glance, the President steps out, lines up, and plays from this seemingly improved position. The manoeuvre, performed almost casually by the caddie, immediately drew sharp-eyed viewers to cry foul, with phrases like 'commander in cheat" trending. Social media users were quick to react. 'LMAO for the morons that think Trump doesn't cheat at golf and wins all those club championships fair and square…watch his caddie here," one user jeered, while another quipped, 'Trump working hard to bring down grocery prices"—a tongue-in-cheek reference to his campaign promises. Some pointed out the seamlessness of the caddie's move, wondering how often such 'tricks" might occur on courses owned by Trump himself, The Week reported. According to the Hindustan Times, this isn't the first time Trump's golf game has faced scrutiny. Renowned sportswriter Rick Reilly, who wrote the book 'Commander in Cheat", has long alleged that Trump can't accept defeat on the course, recounting his own games with Trump where rules were bent so regularly that 'a gimme chip-in" became just another part of play. Earlier, film actor Samuel L Jackson had accused Trump of cheating during a round of golf they supposedly played together. When asked who the better golfer was, the Pulp Fiction actor confidently replied, 'Oh, I am, for sure. I don't cheat." In response on social media, Trump clarified that he had never actually played a round with Jackson. Meanwhile, even as the President enjoyed his rounds, protests rumbled across Scotland, with demonstrators in Edinburgh and beyond decrying his visit and questioning the British government's engagement with Trump during a tense time for UK-US trade relations, CBS News reported. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
