On 7 August 2020, the rapper released a classic pop and hip-hop album namely, 'The Power of Dreams of a Kid' which had 8 tracks and includes features from the artists namely [[Lisa Mishra]], Sikander Kahlon, Fotty Seven, Bali and Music Producer Andy Grewal.

[[File:Badshah snapped on the sets of Dance India Dance.jpg|thumb|238x238px|Badshah with rapper Raftaar.]]

The song also did not appear in the 100-position Global Top Music Videos chart for the week. However, Badshah denied it was fake views, but admitted his record label [[Sony Music India]] bought paid [[Google Ads]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/8520387/indian-rapper-badshah-video-one-day-youtube-record-sony|title=Six Days After Sony Says Indian Rapper's Video Broke One-Day Record for Views, YouTube Has Yet to Confirm|website=Billboard|date=17 July 2019|access-date=28 July 2019}}</ref>

An explanation for YouTube not acknowledging the record was that Badshah's record label Sony Music India had purchased advertisements from Google and YouTube that embedded the video or directed fans to it in some way. However, it has emerged that this is a common practice in the global [[music industry]], and that similar practices had previously been used by the record labels of previous record holders such as [[Ariana Grande]] and [[Blackpink]]. This has cast doubt on some of the 24-hour viewership records on YouTube.<ref name="bloomberg">{{cite news |title=Bollywood Rapper Sets Viewer Record YouTube Isn't Talking About |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-07-30/bollywood-rapper-sets-viewer-record-youtube-isn-t-talking-about |access-date=20 September 2019 |agency=[[Bloomberg News]] |date=30 July 2019}}</ref>

His song "[[Genda Phool]]" was released by [[Sony Music India]] in 2020. It had mixing with a [[Bengali language|Bengali]] folk song "Boro Loker Biti Lo". Ratan Kahar, a Bengali artist, claimed to be the original writer and composer of the folk song.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://zeenews.india.com/bengali/entertainment/exclusive-interview-bengali-folk-artist-ratan-kahar-claim-he-is-the-writer-and-composer-of-boroloker-bitilo_307857.html|title='আইনি লড়াইয়ে যাওয়ার আর্থিক সামর্থ্য নেই', 'বড়লোকের বিটি লো' নিয়ে আক্ষেপের সুর রতন কাহারের|date=28 March 2020|website=Zee24Ghanta.com|access-date=31 March 2020}}</ref> Though Badshah later released a statement saying that it was a traditional [[Baul]] [[Folk music|folk song]] which was not copyrighted, since folk music does not fall under copyright protections and is thus in the [[public domain]].<ref>{{Cite tweet|number=1245014731552772097|user=Its_Badshah|title=Please read|author=Badshah|date=31 March 2020}}</ref>

==Films as actor==
Badshah said that [[Karan Johar]] offered him [[Vicky Kaushal]]'s role in a [[Netflix original film]] "[[Lust Stories]]" and [[Diljit Dosanjh]]'s role in "[[Good Newwz]]", but the popstar denied citing busy schedule and "things-didn't-work-out" things,<ref>https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/news/features/revealed-reason-badshahs-role-lust-stories-good-news-not-work/</ref> hence below-mentioned [[Khandaani Shafakhana]] is hitherto his only film as an actor.
