Rapper Badshah Faces Escalating Trouble Over Controversial 'Tattad Tattad' Song Allegations

Mumbai. The troubles for Bollywood singer and rapper Badshah are mounting due to the controversial song 'Tattad Tattad'.

The Haryana Commission for Protection of Child Rights has issued a notice to Badshah and the song's directors, alleging that the song wrongly portrays school-going girls and incites students to quit their studies. The commission has directed them to appear within seven days to present their side.

Previously, after Badshah failed to appear before the Haryana State Commission for Women on March 13, an order was issued to confiscate his passport and arrest him. The Women's Commission had also directed the Superintendent of Police in Panipat to register an FIR in this matter. The main objection of the Child Rights Commission lies in the misuse of schoolgirl uniforms in the song's video, scenes showing students throwing away school bags and showing indifference to studies, and dangerous stunts performed on a moving bus.

Various social organizations have been strongly protesting the lyrics and visuals used in this song, which was released on March 1. As the controversy escalated, Panchkula police had previously ordered the removal of the song from YouTube. So far, three FIRs have been registered in this case—two in Jind and one in Panchkula. The commission has also sent notices to video directors Mahi Sandhu and Joban Sandhu, the production house, and CEO Alap Gosher, along with Badshah.

According to the commission's argument, artists as famous as Badshah have millions of followers, a large number of whom are school-going children; therefore, such content negatively impacts society and the conduct of girls. The commission clarified that children's future and discipline cannot be gambled with in the name of entertainment.

Furthermore, there are allegations that official permission was not obtained for using Jind Roadways bus and government school scenes during the song's shooting. The Women's Commission had previously held Badshah guilty and initiated legal action regarding the objectification of women and the use of vulgar lyrics.

Meanwhile, it has been reported that he has received death threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. This threat came via a post shared on social media.
