On Friday, Badshah took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, “Dua Lipa ❤️.” A fan then asked if he was making a track with the singer, to which Badshah replied, “I’d rather make babies with her, bro.” While some fans found his remark hilarious and praised his confidence, others called it inappropriate and tone-deaf.

A Reddit user shared his tweets on the platform and wrote, “Badshah sir, ye kaisi Dua?” Another commented, “WHAT’S WITH THIS 'HAVE BABIES' JOKE? How can you say that and not be so disgusted with yourself you want to bathe!” A third user said, “EWWWWW, what a creep. Women really can’t catch a break online or in real life.” Others added, “Indian Kanye West,” “This is disgusting,” and “This is too much.” Some fans, however, made light of the comment.

Meanwhile, Badshah is now gearing up for his The Un-Finished Tour in the US. The tour kicks off with a show in Virginia on September 5, followed by performances in New Jersey, the Bay Area, Seattle, and Dallas, before concluding on September 20 at Now Arena in Chicago.
