Rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh has added a hilarious twist to the latest conversation around his old association with fellow rapper Badshah. The moment came after comedian Samay Raina made a playful reference to the long-running tension between the two rappers on the latest bonus episode of India’s Got Latent.
The second bonus episode of Season 2, released for YouTube channel members on August 10, featured Badshah as one of the guests. During the episode, Samay appeared to take a cheeky dig at the rapper while indirectly bringing Honey Singh into the conversation.
Samay Raina brings Honey Singh into the joke
The moment happened after a contestant’s performance when Samay picked up the microphone and began singing. He jokingly sang a line praising Honey Singh before making references to the rapper’s popular song Brown Rang.
The performance quickly caught viewers’ attention, with clips from the episode making their way across social media. Many users interpreted the moment as a light-hearted reference to the history between Honey Singh and Badshah.
The connection became even more interesting because Brown Rang has been at the centre of discussions surrounding the former collaborators for years.
The old Honey Singh-Badshah connection
Honey Singh and Badshah were once associated with the hip-hop collective Mafia Mundeer. Their professional association eventually ended, and disagreements surrounding songs, credits and their contributions have continued to attract attention among fans.
One of the major discussions has involved Brown Rang. Badshah has previously spoken about his contribution to the song, claiming that he wrote the lyrics while Honey Singh worked on the beats. The issue resurfaced on social media in 2025 when Badshah commented “Credits” on a post connected with Honey Singh.
The history between the two rappers has continued to remain a topic of interest, which is why Samay’s reference immediately caught the attention of viewers.

Badshah reveals how he got his stage name
The episode also produced another viral moment when Samay asked Badshah about the story behind his stage name.
Badshah claimed that he came up with the name himself. However, social media users soon dug up an older interaction involving the two rappers in which Badshah had reportedly said that Honey Singh suggested the stage name.
The contrasting statements quickly became a talking point online, with fans sharing the older clip alongside the new episode.
Honey Singh himself eventually joined the conversation. Reacting to the viral clip, he left a short but cheeky comment:
“Meri nalayak aulaad.”
The humorous remark quickly attracted attention, with fans interpreting it as Honey Singh’s playful response to Badshah’s claim.
Social media turns the moment into a meme
As clips from the episode circulated online, fans began revisiting the history of the two rappers and their time together in the Indian hip-hop scene. The combination of Samay’s comedy, Badshah’s answer and Honey Singh’s reaction gave social media plenty to discuss.
Rather than turning the exchange into a serious confrontation, Honey Singh’s short response kept the mood light and added another memorable chapter to the ongoing online conversation surrounding the former collaborators.
Badshah appears on India’s Got Latent
The latest bonus episode of India’s Got Latent Season 2 featured Badshah along with comedian Haarsh Limbachiyaa, influencer Sourav Joshi and comedian Rajat Sood.
The bonus episodes have been released separately from the show’s regular schedule, giving viewers additional content and unexpected celebrity interactions.
Badshah’s appearance became particularly memorable because of the references to his past with Honey Singh, while Samay Raina once again managed to turn a casual conversation into a viral social-media moment.
For fans who have followed the journey of Indian hip-hop over the years, the exchange was another reminder of the complicated history between two artists who were once part of the same musical circle and later became associated with one of the industry’s most talked-about rivalries.
