In his latest social media post, Badshah said that he respects the reactions of the audience and is also aware of his responsibility towards society as an artist.
He was heard saying, “To the people of Haryana and all my friends connected across the world, In the past few weeks, regarding my song ‘Tateeree', we have listened to the concerns of government officials, the women’s commission, social workers, and many others who care about our culture. Based on their feedback, we have made the necessary changes, and whatever part was considered objectionable has been removed. I respect the reactions and the sentiments behind them. As an artist, along with my work, my responsibility toward my society and culture is equally important."
Badshah added that music has always been a way for him to take his roots, his language, his people, and his stories to a larger platform.
Expressing his gratitude to the audience for loving the song, he shared, "Your support, your voice, and your belief are what have kept this song alive. I hope its new version will carry the same energy and the same respect. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this entire conversation. Such discussions make us better."
