‘Honey Singh eats credits': Badshah reignites 16-year-long ‘credits' war with rapper after publicly expressing desire to end feud
While many thought the feud between Badshah and Honey Singh had ended, Badshah recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to burst that bubble. In the past, during an interaction with The Lallantop, the rapper had claimed that he wrote the lyrics of Honey Singh's popular track 'Brown Rang' and also contributed to his hit 'Angrezi Beat.' Now, in his latest post on X, Badshah has reignited the credit war. It all began when a fan of Honey Singh shared a photo of the singer showing off his physical transformation. Praising him, the fan wrote, 'What did he eat?' In response, Badshah cheekily replied with just one loaded word that brought their years-old feud back into focus. He wrote, 'Credits.' Credits — BADSHAH (@Its_Badshah) July 22, 2025 Badshah and Honey Singh began their careers as part of the famous rap group Mafia Mundeer, which delivered hits like 'Khol Botal,' 'Begani Naar Buri,' and 'Delhi Ke Deewane.' The group also featured rappers like Ikka, Lil Golu, and Raftaar. However, the band disbanded after a fallout between Honey Singh and Badshah, and since then, the two have continued to take subtle and not-so-subtle jabs at each other. In 2024, however, fans saw a glimmer of hope for reconciliation. During a concert in Dehradun, Badshah paused his performance mid-way to publicly express his desire to end their long-standing feud. He said, '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. I was unhappy because of some misunderstanding but then I realised when we were together. Jodne waale bahut kam the, todne waale bahut the (The number of people wanting to break us apart outnumbered the number of people trying to unite). Today, I just want to let everyone know I've left that phase behind and I wish him all the best.' However, Honey Singh didn't take kindly to Badshah's olive branch and responded sternly. In an interview with India Today, he said, 'People often ask me about my fight, my controversy with Badshah. A fight happens between two people when both are involved, but for 10 years, one man kept abusing me, making songs about me, mocking my illness, and I never responded.' Honey claimed that while Badshah kept taking potshots at him over the years, he remained silent. But in 2024, he decided to finally speak up against the 'Mercy' singer. He said, 'It was only this year, in 2024, that I started speaking up, and that too because of my fans. My fans sent me DMs saying, 'Please speak up, this is about our dignity now. A man is continuously speaking ill about you.' As a result, he apologised and admitted his mistake. But he is one of those who spits and then licks it back; just watch, he'll flip again. I don't consider people like that to be anything.'

Badshah reignites feud with Honey Singh over 'Brown Rang' credits: 'I wrote it, not him'
Badshah has once again sparked the industry in India's hip-hop scene by claiming authorship of the 2011 hit 'Brown Rang,' a track widely associated with Yo Yo Honey Singh . The controversy resurfaced on July 22, when Badshah responded to a fan's post on social media with a pointed one-word jab: 'Credits.' 'He had the beat, but I wrote the song' The rapper elaborated that in 2011, Honey Singh had called him to mix a track. At the time, Badshah had already written 'Brown Rang,' while Singh had a beat paired with lyrics that Badshah described as 'weird.' He offered to rewrite the lyrics, and the final version, according to Badshah, was entirely his creation. He also claimed to have written the rap portion of 'Angrezi Beat,' another track often credited solely to Singh. Badshah said it in various 2024 interviews. Mafia Mundeer : From brotherhood to breakdown Both artists began their careers as part of the now-defunct hip-hop collective Mafia Mundeer, which also included Raftaar, Ikka, and Lil Golu. In the early 2010s, the group became well-known underground thanks to songs like 'Khol Botal,' 'Begani Naar Buri,' and 'Delhi Ke Deewane.'

Badshah Claims He Wrote Brown Rang, Takes A Jibe At Yo Yo Honey Singh Over Credit
Badshah picks up fight with Yo Yo Honey Singh again over songwriting credits for Brown Rang. 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."
