The complicated history between Yo Yo Honey Singh and Badshah has once again come into the spotlight after an old video of the latter resurfaced online. The online discussion began after Badshah appeared on the latest bonus episode of Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent Season 2.
What happened
During the episode, Samay asked Badshah the story behind his stage name, to which the rapper said that he had come up with the name himself.
The conversation quickly went viral online and many social media users revisited an older interview in which Badshah had given Honey Singh credit for the name.

"Honey told me, ‘You live like a Badshah.' He said I use my phone whenever I want and get up whenever I feel like. So that's how Badshah was decided," Badshah had said in the old footage.
The old clip also caught Honey Singh’s attention, and he reacted to the resurfaced footage on social media, saying, “Meri gandi aulaad”.
