Independent hip-hop artist Santy Sharma defended Indian rapper Badshah following backlash over the song Tateeree, which faced criticism for allegedly explicit lyrics and controversial visuals. Sharma argued on Instagram that rap often includes aggressive or competitive lyricism and that audiences may misinterpret artistic expression within hip-hop culture. While acknowledging that lyrics could be revised if deemed inappropriate, he urged the public not to judge the artist prematurely. The controversy escalated after complaints were filed and the Haryana State Commission for Women issued notices to Badshah, who apologized and addressed the issue in a video but missed a commission appearance due to prior commitments. Multiple cases have since been registered in Panchkula and Jind, and some local groups have demanded a ban on the song for allegedly offending Haryanvi cultural values.
