Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia, popularly known by his stage name, Badshah, is one of the most popular rappers in India. With songs like Jugnu, Mercy, Paagal, Genda Phool, Dj Waley Babu, Proper Patola, Kala Chashma, and many more, he has taken over Bollywood. In 2020, his song, Genda Phool, became one of the most successful songs in Indian history.
Before making his solo career, Badshah was part of a band called Mafia Mundeer, which also had members like Yo Yo Honey Singh, Raftaar and Lil’ Golu. In the past, there were reports of Badshah’s tiff with Yo Yo Honey Singh. In a recent podcast with Raj Shamani, Badshah opened up about the same and said:
“Mafia Mundeer was a thought, and like-minded people got together. Primarily it was just me and Honey. In 2009, there was a break between me and Honey. I used to do a job and I was very scared. Honey was also off my radar and when I tried calling him, he dodged my calls. But till the time we were in Mafia Mundeer, we never met. If we had met, maybe things would have been different."

It was in 2011 when Badshah first collaborated with Honey Singh and their first song, Get Up Jawani came out. Revealing how he felt that Honey was self-centred, Badshah shared his thoughts on him and stated:
“We are also creating so many songs, please consider us as well. We have left everything behind and come here. You (Honey) should not be so self-centered. On the one hand, you call us brothers, but on the other, you fail to acknowledge our struggles. He made us sign blank papers; what about those contracts? It was a tough phase."
