Rapper Badshah faces backlash and legal action in India over a song accused of objectifying women, leading to an FIR and a commission summons.

Rapper Badshah faces legal and public backlash over his March 1 song "Tateeree," accused of misogynistic lyrics and visuals depicting women as objects, prompting an FIR under India’s Indecent Representation of Women Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The Haryana State Women's Commission has summoned him to appear on March 13 over allegations of using vulgar language and minors in school uniforms. Singer Sona Mohapatra condemned the song, calling its portrayal of women lazy and harmful, especially in a region with severe gender inequality. Badshah apologized, claiming the lyrics reflected hip-hop’s competitive culture and that he meant no disrespect. The song was removed from social media platforms.
