“Artistes never make their image. Image is made by the fans and the artiste’s job is to fight that perception. Some reinvent themselves and some go along with that image. I will be composing full albums too in the future. I am moving towards showing my versatility but in the end, I will make only what I am capable of,” he said.

He is currently the biggest rapper in Indian music industry and has practically taken over rapper-singer Yo Yo Honey Singh’s market. When asked about how he feels to be the numero uno in the rap industry, Badshah said that he is aware that the shelf-life of artistes is short and he is not certain for how long will he stay at the top.

“Everything is temporary. I don’t know how long will I have my time here in the industry. I want to concentrate in making good music. That will be my biggest satisfaction. Today, the market for Punjabi rappers has widened. You never know in some time there might be some other talented rapper who takes over from me and people will call him number one. As far as Honey Singh is concerned, right now, there are no songs of his. Let him come with new music, then we will have some competition,” Badshah said.

Badshah said that young rappers should understand that they can deliver hits even if they keep the lyrics simple and clean.

More from the world of Entertainment:

“I keep my songs clean. My song ‘Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai’ has to be the cleanest party number. That’s why families love me. ‘DJ Wale Babu’ has an undertone but it’s not offensive because when I perform at weddings, people request for that song. So, there’s no track of mine which is offensive. But I have a message for all the rappers that you can make a great song without writing offensive lyrics,” the musician said.
