Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Mumbai, March 13 (NationPress) Wrestler and MMA fighter Sangram Singh, renowned for his impressive and principled appearance on the reality show Bigg Boss, has shared his insights regarding the ongoing controversy linked to rapper Badshah’s song Tatiri.
When approached for his views by IANS, Sangram did not hesitate to express his concerns regarding the use of abusive language in music, particularly when it involves children and women.
“I firmly believe that such songs should not be produced,” Sangram stated. “Many contemporary rappers resort to foul language, and I find this unacceptable, irrespective of the artist. Personally, I steer clear of that genre of music.”
He emphasized the importance of audience responsibility, urging listeners to refrain from promoting such negative content.
“Moreover, I think the audience has a significant influence on what gets produced. If individuals, especially the youth, stop endorsing such music, creators will naturally gravitate towards crafting better and more meaningful songs,” he remarked.
When discussing his musical preferences, the former Bigg Boss contestant mentioned his admiration for legendary artists like Kishore Kumar, Mohammed Rafi, Mukesh, Lata Mangeshkar, and Udit Narayan.
He further commented, “I've come across claims from some artists that using offensive language is a form of self-expression, but I disagree with that stance.”
Concerning the Tatiri controversy, it was reported earlier this week that the Haryana police initiated a Look Out Circular (LOC) to prevent Badshah from exiting the country.
Authorities revealed that an FIR was filed at the Cyber Police Station in Sector 20, Panchkula, related to the song and its video, which they deemed inappropriate due to its portrayal of women and minors.
According to officials, the video allegedly depicted minor girls in revealing school uniforms, discarding their school bags, and evading academic responsibilities.
They also pointed out that the term “Badshala” used in the song inaccurately represents the educational environment negatively.
Officials asserted that the song also contains objectionable and disrespectful language directed at women and girls.
