Rapper Badshah faced massive criticism and backlash over the use of objectionable lyrics and visuals in his new song Tateeree. The Haryanvi hip-hop song, released on March 1, 2026, was taken down from YouTube after a legal complaint from the government.
Later, several complaints from government organisations, including the Haryana State Commission for Women, and other individuals led to the removal of hundreds of links, including YouTube videos and Instagram reels related to the song, by the Haryana Police.
He later issued an apology and revealed that the track had been removed from all platforms. Now, on April 10, Badshah took to his Instagram handle to announce a new version of his song titled Tateeree Phir Se and mentioned that he has edited all the objectionable parts and will release the song next week.

Sharing an Instagram post on Friday, Badshah wrote in Hindi which English translates to, “Among the people of Haryana and fans across the world, all my greetings. After seeing the feelings of many people regarding the recently released ‘Tattree’, I have decided to make necessary changes to some government officials, women officers, social workers, and our culture. Based on that, we have made the necessary changes, and whatever disrespect was felt has been removed. I apologise for this incident and respect the sentiments of those who were hurt. As an artist, along with my society and culture, my responsibility is also equally important. With this, my sincere apology to all of you, to your sentiments, and to your stories and songs.”
He further added, “‘Tareeree Phir Se’ – the journey has just begun. With your support, your voice, and your trust, this will be taken forward. I hope it brings new energy and new respect. This song is dedicated to all those who gave their opinion on this controversy. It is a conversation, and it is better to build than to break. ‘Tareeree Phir Se’ will be available on all platforms on 14.04.26 – listen, share, and spread it.” Take a look below:
