Indian rapper Badshah has been in the news lately because of his latest song, 'Tateeree'. The Haryanvi hip-hop song, released on March 1, 2026, has been taken down from his official YouTube channel, with a disclaimer that says "This content is not available on this country domain due to a legal complaint from the government."
It is worth noting that, while the song has been removed from the official channel, full versions are still circulating on a few other platforms. For the unversed, the song has sparked controversy, with several people accusing the rapper of using objectionable lyrics.
The complaints were filed by Savita Arya, president of the Nari Tu Narayani Utthan Samiti in Panipat, and Shiv Kumar, director of the Shiv Aarti India Foundation. They claim that Badshah’s song Tateeree contains objectionable words and sexual innuendos that objectify women and minors.
The official video of Tateeree song has been taken down from Badshah's YouTube handle. Take a look at the screengrab below:
After the release of the song, the Haryana State Commission for Women has issued a formal summons to singer-rapper Badshah over the objectionable lyrics in his Haryanvi song, Tateeree. The commission took suo motu action after receiving multiple complaints expressing concern about the potential impact of the lyrics on women and young audience.
A hearing on the matter has been scheduled for March 13 at 11:30 AM in the conference hall of the Deputy Commissioner's office in Panipat.
In a latest development, Panchkula Police have filed an FIR over Badshah's recently released song 'Tateeree' and have started the process of issuing a Look-Out Circular against Badshah to stop him from leaving the country.
