Rapper-singer Badshah has broken his silence on the rift with Honey Singh in a new interview. The duo was part of the band Mafia Mundeer.
In an interview with Raj Shamani, Badshah called Honey Singh ‘self-centered’ and said that he used to ignore his calls many times.
He said, ‘Mafia Mundeer was a thought, and like-minded people got together. Primarily it was just me and Honey. In 2009, there was a break between me and Honey. I used to do a job and I was very scared. Honey was also off my radar and when I tried calling him, he dodged my calls. But till the time we were in Mafia Mundeer, we never met. If we had met, maybe things would have been different.’
The singer added, ‘We made songs but they were not released. Honey was just concentrating on his career. I was associated with Mafia Mundeer since 2006, and by 2009, my parents were very worried about me. In 2011, my first song with Honey came out Get Up Jawani... We are also creating so many songs, please consider us as well.
We have left everything behind and come here. You (Honey) should not be so self-centered. On the one hand, you call us brothers, but on the other, you fail to acknowledge our struggles. He made us sign blank papers; what about those contracts? It was a tough phase.’
‘Mafia Mundeer’ delivered many hit songs like ‘Gabru’, ‘Haye Mera Dil’, ‘Glassi’, ‘Get Up Jawani’, and many more. The band last performed in 2012.
Besides Honey Singh and Badshah, ‘Mafia Mundeer’ consisted of Raftaar, Ikka, and Lil' Golu.
