Rapper-singer Badshah has found himself at the center of a controversy following the release of his track Tateeree.
The song has sparked criticism from several quarters, with many viewers calling out its allegedly explicit lyrics and visuals, which they claim are inappropriate.
Amid the backlash, the singer has reportedly received a threat from alleged associates of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.
A screenshot of a Facebook post began circulating on social media, in which members allegedly linked to the gang of Lawrence Bishnoi appeared to issue a death threat to rapper-singer Badshah.
The note claimed that the rapper had earlier been warned through a phone call and referred to an earlier incident in 2024 in which the gang allegedly tried to intimidate Badshah at a club.
The alleged threat comes as Badshah continues to get backlash for the song Tateeree, with the Haryana Police registering an FIR and initiating the process to issue a lookout notice against the singer.
Badshah has since apologized for the song, saying he did not intend to hurt anyone's sentiments.
The Haryana State Commission for Women has also issued a request to arrest rapper Badshah after he failed to appear before them before the deadline.
