Badshah Recalls Being Called A Bad Influence By Relatives: ‘He Should Not Come…'
Badshah claims that relatives told his parents to keep him away from their children and even asked them not to let him visit their homes. Badshah is one of the most popular rappers and singers in India today, known for making songs that many people connect with. Despite his success, he hasn't forgotten the hard times he faced. Recently, he shared a story about how some relatives spoke badly about him to his parents. The Garmi singer said that these relatives told his parents to keep him away from their children and even asked them not to let him visit their homes. Despite these harsh words, his parents stood by him and gave him the support he needed. A fan edit of Badshah and his parents' recent interview with Spotify India has been spreading online, where the artist revealed, 'All relatives have spoken only ill about me to them. Every relative said, 'Keep him away from our children.' They would tell my parents, 'He should not come to our house'." His mother said, 'Actually, they all thought that he just wastes his time. They didn't understand that he runs around for his music. Now, when people approach us, our hearts swell with pride. We forbade him and he still did it. And he's doing his best." His father added, 'Look, these things can't be expressed. It's beyond words. We are happy." In the same chat, Badshah's mother shared a memory from his school days. She said he was in Class 9 when he told her that he wanted to become a DJ. She didn't really understand what he meant at that time, as he was still so young. One day, some family members were visiting and she asked him to show them what he was doing. He played something for them, but no one really understood it. Still, Badshah was confident. He told his mother that it will definitely work and not understanding was actually a good sign. His father, on the other hand, wasn't happy with this path. He had different plans for Badshah and had already told him what kind of career he wanted him to follow. However, the singer added that when he first told his parents he wanted to rap, they didn't really understand what it meant. It was very new and confusing for them. He felt that when people stop you from doing something and you still want to do it, that's a clear sign it's your true passion. Later, he even asked his parents if they now understand what he does for a living. They honestly said they still didn't know much about it, which made him laugh. Badshah will be heading to the US for his Unfinished Tour in September 2025. He'll be performing in several major cities, including Virginia, New Jersey, Bay Area, Seattle, Dallas and Chicago.
