Amid the controversy surrounding ‘offensive remarks’ made during comedian Samay Raina’s show ‘India’s Got Latent’, several celebrities have publicly backed the comedian, including rapper Badshah.
Badshah recently performed at a university in Vadodara, Gujarat, where he took a moment at the end of his concert to show solidarity with Raina. As he thanked the crowd, the rapper yelled out, “Free Samay Raina”. However, the statement triggered a wave of trolling on social media, with some questioning Badshah’s remarks, pointing out that Raina had not even been arrested.
The remark, however, led to mixed reactions online. Many netizens were quick to point out that Raina had not been arrested, with some commenting, “He is free! Does Badshah have new information?” One user even suggested, “If he is in custody, that’s excellent. Why does Badshah want him to be free, why is he advocating obscenity?”
Some stated that, “This is Gian, so don’t take it seriously.”
