Indian rapper Badshah is ‘tripping’ on Asim Azhar’s ‘Habibi’

On Friday, Azhar shared a screenshot of the chat he had with the artist on his Instagram Stories. Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia, known by his stage name Badshah, messaged Azhar writing, “Tripping on Habibi.” He added the 100 emoji and a red heart emoji. The Jo Tu Na Mila singer replied, “Means so much coming from you brother.”

To this, Badshah added, “Kya hi bandiya bhai, khatam melody. What a song you’ve made bro, the melody is great!” Azhar thanked him saying, “Lots of love big bro!” Badshah sent a folded hands emoji, used to show respect.

Political differences aside, Pakistani and Indian artists are often seen appreciating each other’s hard work. Many also learn and take inspiration from one another and sometimes, that inspiration turns into imitation. But knowing the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, one can’t help but ignore the similarities artists on both ends share.

Having similar tastes and an affinity for all things desi, the latest interaction is just an example of the brotherly love people divided by borders and united by art can share.

The Ghalat Fehmi crooner had earlier shared Habibi on his Instagram with the caption, “Had a fight with your partner and you don’t know how to make it up? Habibi — the new song by Asim Azhar — is THE song for you. It’s the patch-up song of the season and a whole new vibe. Listen, feel and rekindle the love.”

The song is fit for a drive in the rain with your partner, unless of course, it’s flooded outside.
