In a move that threw fresh life into a nearly two-decade-old rivalry, rapper Badshah responded with a single word—“Credits”—to a fan’s cheeky query about Honey Singh’s dramatic transformation, reigniting a long-standing dispute over song authorship. The comment was prompted by a fan’s social media post showing before-and-after photos of Honey Singh, asking, “What did he eat?” .

This alleged jibe hits a nerve in a feud that dates back to their time together in the hip-hop collective Mafia Mundeer, which included notable names like Raftaar and Ikka . The conflict deepened when Badshah claimed he wrote the lyrics to Honey Singh’s iconic 2011 song “Brown Rang,” while conceding that Honey Singh composed the beat. Talk of reconciliation surfaced in 2024 when Badshah publicly expressed a desire to patch things up during a concert in Dehradun. However, this latest salvo proves the smoldering tension is far from extinguished.

As fans weigh in, it’s clear that the “Credits” remark is more than a casual jest—it’s a statement that questions the very foundation of Honey Singh’s musical legacy.
