Social media lit up after rapper Badshah made a cheeky dig at American President Donald Trump during his concert in New Jersey. Users shared clips and reactions online, praising the rapper for turning his performance into a moment of sharp humor.
For uninitiated while singing Tareefan from Veere Di Wedding, Badshah changed the original line Kinniya Tareefan Chahidi Ae Tenu (How many compliments do you want) to Kinni Tariff Chahidiye Trump Ko (How much tariff does Trump want). The moment instantly went viral, with fans calling it one of the funniest moments of the concert.
Salman Khan’s indirect swipe at the US President
Badshah’s joke came shortly after Salman Khan made what was seen as a veiled comment on Trump during Bigg Boss 19. When contestant Farrhana Bhatt described herself as a “peace activist” while clashing with Neelam Giri, Salman stepped in and said, “Ye kya ho raha hai poori duniya me. Jo sabsey zyada trouble fyaila rahey hain, unhi ko peace prize chahiye. (What is happening in the whole world? The ones creating the most trouble are the ones who want a peace prize)." This comment led many to believe that the remark was a subtle reference to the POTUS, who has often expressed his wish to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
