Rapper Badshah has landed in controversy after his recently released Haryanvi song Tateeree drew objections over its lyrics. The Haryana State Commission for Women has issued a summons to the singer, asking him to appear before the commission and explain the content of the track.
The song, which was released earlier this week, quickly gained attention online but also sparked criticism from several groups who claimed that some of the lyrics were objectionable and inappropriate. The commission took note of the matter and raised concerns that such content could negatively influence audiences, particularly women and younger listeners.
