Badshah backs Diljit Dosanjh amid alcohol songs controversy

Rapper Badshah on Friday extended support to Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh in the ongoing debate over alcohol-themed songs, calling out the apparent double standard in targeting musicians while liquor is sold almost everywhere in the country.

Speaking at the Sahitya Aaj Tak, Badshah said he agrees with Diljit's recent comments that he will stop singing alcohol-themed songs the day liquor shops are closed across the country. Diljit made these comments after he was directed not sing songs promoting alcohol at one of his concert.

Badshah, who considers Diljit as his elder brother, said an artist's work is a reflection of the society.
