India, Sept. 12 -- Rapper-singer Badshah has reacted to his viral concert moment in New Jersey (US) that has been making waves online. "Hip-hop has always been about calling out the absurdities of power. It felt right using live humour to shine a light on something that concerns India and its people," the 39-year-old says about his cheeky dig at US President Donald Trump. In the clip, Badshah was mid-performance on Tareefan (Veere Di Wedding, 2018), when he flipped the lyric from Kinniya tareefan chahidi ae tenu to Kinni tariff chahidiye Trump ko. The line drew loud cheers from the packed venue and quickly lit up social media. The musician, who will be the first Indian rapper to attend New York Fashion Week today, also reflects on how these moments land in his set: "My banter is mostly spontaneous. If a current hot topic grabs my attention, I'll riff on it in the moment. Spontaneity keeps the connection real; no one wants a perfectly scripted show. I do build breather moments into my set. My goal is simple: to make every person in that crowd feel seen, heard, and included in the larger conversation." Beyond the humour, Badshah says that he also used the stage to point to the crisis in Punjab. "I spoke about the Punjab flood crisis at the very kick-off of the tour because it has been playing up on my psyche and I'm deeply concerned," he shares....
