A joke by comedian Samay Raina in the latest members-only episode of India's Got Latent Season 2 has reignited one of Indian hip-hop's longest-running rivalries.

The episode featured rapper Badshah, and a light-hearted exchange about his stage name quickly prompted fans to revisit an older clip involving Yo Yo Honey Singh, who had once referred to Badshah as "Meri gandi aulaad" in an Instagram Story.

The viral discussion has once again brought attention to the years-old feud between the two rappers.

What Happened on India's Got Latent?

The latest bonus episode, released on August 10 for YouTube members, featured Badshah alongside Haarsh Limbachiyaa, Sourav Joshi and Rajat Sood.

Following a contestant's performance, Samay Raina performed a short comic song in which he referred to Honey Singh and the hit song Brown Rang.

Later in the episode, Samay asked Badshah how he came up with his stage name. Badshah replied that he had chosen it himself.

The exchange led many social media users to revisit an older interview in which Badshah had reportedly said Honey Singh suggested the name.

Why Did Honey Singh Say 'Gandi Aulaad'?

After the old clip resurfaced, Honey Singh shared it on his Instagram Stories and wrote:

"Meri gandi aulaad."

The phrase, loosely translated as "my bad/worthless child," quickly went viral and became another chapter in the public rivalry between the two artists.

Although Honey Singh did not elaborate on the remark, it was widely interpreted by fans as a dig at Badshah.

The Honey Singh vs Badshah Feud Explained

Honey Singh and Badshah were once members of the popular hip-hop collective Mafia Mundeer, which also included several other artists.

The group eventually split, and both rappers went on to establish successful solo careers.

Over the years, they have publicly disagreed on several issues, including songwriting credits, music composition and the history of Mafia Mundeer.

The Brown Rang Credits Controversy

One of the biggest points of disagreement involves the blockbuster track Brown Rang.

Badshah has maintained that he wrote the lyrics, while Honey Singh has maintained that he composed the music and played the key role in creating the song.

The issue resurfaced again in 2025 when Badshah commented "Credits" on a social media post related to Honey Singh, reigniting fan debates over who deserved recognition for the hit.

Why Is the Clip Trending Again?

The renewed interest isn't because of a new dispute between the rappers but because Samay Raina's joke reminded viewers of their long-standing rivalry.

Fans subsequently revisited older interviews, Instagram Stories and social media exchanges involving Honey Singh and Badshah, causing the "Gandi Aulaad" clip to trend once again.

While neither artist has made a fresh statement about the controversy following the episode, the exchange has once again become a talking point among fans of Indian hip-hop.
