Indian rapper Badshah faced immediate social media backlash on June 5–7, 2025, after responding to a fan on X (formerly Twitter) by saying he’d “rather make babies with” global pop star Dua Lipa, following a simple red heart emoji post . Critics condemned the remark as “cheap,” “creepy,” and tone-deaf . Instead of apologising, Badshah defended his remark, calling it “one of the most beautiful compliments” and wrote, “Meri soch nahi tumhari soch…” (“It’s not my mindset, it’s yours”) . His explanation only intensified debate around cultural sensitivity, public humour, and boundaries in celebrity statements online. (PC: Getty Images)
