Badshah backs ‘make babies’ tweet For Dua Lipa, trolls slam ‘wahiyat cover-up’

June 06, 2025: Indian rapper Badshah sparked widespread controversy with a tweet about international pop star Dua Lipa. Early that morning, Badshah posted simply, “Dua lipa ❤️,” which many interpreted as admiration or a hint at a possible collaboration. When a fan asked if a track was in the works, Badshah’s unexpected reply, “Id rather make babies with her bro,” quickly went viral — drawing sharp criticism.

Many social media users condemned the rapper’s comment as inappropriate and offensive. One user wrote, “EWWWWW what a creep. Women really can’t catch a break online or IRL,” while another questioned, “WHAT’S WITH THIS ‘HAVE BABIES’ JOKE? How can you say that and not be disgusted with yourself?” Some called the remark “cringe” and “no class.”

In response to the backlash, Badshah defended his words in a new tweet, stating, “I think one of the most beautiful compliments that you could give to a woman that you really admire is to wish for her to mother your children. Meri soch nahi tumhari soch saamne aayi hai.” Despite his attempt to justify the comment as admiration, many netizens mocked his explanation, accusing him of a weak cover-up.

Comments ranged from “Kaisa wahiyat cover-up tha bhai” to “Your comment was not just offensive, it was downright cheap. Please spare us the act of playing saint now.” Others described his original tweet as sexual harassment, with one user stating, “That was a clever way to defend and hide your crude remarks about wanting to get another woman pregnant. Grow up, weirdo!”
