"I will work for the upliftment of women."
Badshah recently appeared before the National Commission for Women regarding his controversial Haryanvi song called ‘Tateeree’.
The artist offered an unconditional apology and promised to sponsor the education of fifty girls from economically weaker sections.
This legal situation arose after the commission issued a summons over the alleged obscenity present within the recent track.
Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar presided over the hearing, which focused on the damage caused to the dignity of Indian women.
The singer pledged that he would never be involved in any such vulgar activity during his professional career again.
He also committed to creating a new song focused on women’s empowerment within the next four months.
Badshah clarified to the officials that he intended to work for the general upliftment of society and all women.
Badshah stated: “I will work for the upliftment of women and society.
“I will present a positive song on women’s empowerment within four months and will not be involved in any such activity in future.”
Directors Joban Sandhu and Mahavir Singh, along with producer Hiten, also attended the hearing to submit their written apologies.
Rahatkar expressed deep concern about the lyrics, which she believed significantly hurt the decency of women in modern society.
The commission directed all parties involved to ensure that such incidents are not repeated at any point in future.
The Haryanvi hip hop single ‘Tateeree’ was originally released on the first day of March in 2026.
It featured vocals from Simran Jaglan while the music was composed and produced by the talented artist named Hiten.
The official music video was directed by Mahi Sandhu and Joban Sandhu before it was removed from all platforms.
Badshah himself wrote the track’s lyrics, which blended contemporary rap with several regional musical influences.
The Haryana Police took active steps to remove hundreds of links to the controversial song across various social media.
This action followed intense public backlash and criticism regarding the vulgar nature of the presentation and the specific lyrics.
The singer had previously used his Instagram account to issue a public apology to anyone offended by the music.
Badshah stated that he did not have any intention to hurt the sentiments of any community or person.
Despite the apology, the National Commission for Women decided to take a suo motu case against the entire team.
