Badshah’s ‘Make Babies With Dua Lipa’ Comment Sparks Online Outrage
Rapper Badshah is facing online criticism after making a controversial comment about international pop star Dua Lipa. In a now-viral exchange on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, Badshah told a fan he would “rather make babies” with the global sensation than collaborate with her, a remark that has been widely condemned as inappropriate and offensive.
The incident began on Friday, June 6, when Badshah posted a cryptic message, “Dua Lipa,” followed by a red heart emoji. This prompted a fan to ask if a musical collaboration between the two artists was in the works. In response, Badshah wrote, “I’d rather make babies with her, bro (sic).”
The comment immediately sparked a backlash. The exchange was quickly screenshotted and shared across social media platforms, including Reddit, where it drew a flood of negative reactions. Many users slammed the rapper, who is married and has a daughter, calling his comment “tone-deaf” and “disrespectful.”
“WHAT’S WITH THIS ‘HAVE BABIES’ JOKE? How can you say that and not feel disgusted with yourself?” one user wrote on Reddit. Another commented, “Cringe. Why acting like a nibba? No class, agh” (sic). A third user expressed their dismay, adding, “EWWWWW what a creep. Women really can’t catch a break—online or in real life” (sic).
While some users attempted to defend the remark as a joke, the overwhelming sentiment was one of disapproval, with many pointing out the inappropriateness of the comment, especially given Badshah’s public stature. As of now, Badshah has not issued any clarification or apology regarding his post.
For the unversed, Badshah is married to Jasmine Masih and they have a daughter named Jessemy Grace Masih Singh.
On the professional front, the rapper is currently gearing up for ‘The Unfinished Tour’ in the United States, scheduled to run from September 5 to September 20. He also recently made headlines for a significant weight-loss transformation, which had earned him praise from fans. However, this recent controversy has overshadowed his other recent activities
