Badshah deletes Instagram posts after Honey Singh opens up on decade-long feud

Rapper and songwriter Badshah has either deleted or archived all his posts on Instagram, leaving his fans puzzled. Badshah's Instagram account (@badboyshah) which has over 15 million followers went completely blank on Saturday with no posts visible on his account.

This comes days after rapper Honey Singh had rejected Badshah's efforts to make amends with the Brown Rang singer.

In a recent interview with India Today Digital, Singh dismissed Badshah's attempt to end their long-standing feud, calling it disingenuous. "He's the type to spit and then lick it back; just wait, he'll turn again," Honey Singh had remarked, reiterating his position.

Singh was responding to Badshah's attempt at reconciling with him at a concert earlier this year.

Badshah had publicly ended his long-running feud with the contemporary singer at GraFest 2024 in Dehradun and said he is ready to move on.

"There was a phase in my life where I held this grudge against one and now, I want to call it quits and leave that grudge behind- and that’s Honey Singh", Badshah had said.

"I was unhappy because of some misunderstanding but then I realised when we were together, 'jodne waale bahut kam the, todne waale bahut the' (There were many who wanted to create rift between us but very few who wanted us together). Today, I just want to let everyone know I’ve left that phase behind and I wish him all the best," he added.

Badshah and Singh are considered among the top rappers in the country and have a massive fan-following. The two artists started out together as part of the rap band Mafia Mundeer, which also included Ikka, Lil Golu, and Raftaar.

The band delivered many hit tracks such as Khol Botal, Begani Naar Buri and Delhi ke Deewane. Their feud has remained the talk of the town for several years with the duo regularly taking potshots at each other on social media.
