== Plagiarism Issues ==
Badshah was grossly criticized over him sampling lines,

''Boroloker bitilo, lomba lomba chul,
Emon mathay bendhe debo lal genda phool''

Which is from a Bengali folk number '''Boro Loker Biti''', without giving any due credits to the original lyricist named Ratan Kahar and singer of the composition named Swapna Chakraborty, to be more precise Badshah was accused of [[plagiarism]]. Later he came up stating that the folk lyrics were not protected with any copyright infringement anywhere and it was not the first time that the lyrics are being used in songs, hence he doesn't find himself in any legal trouble and all that happened was nothing but a mere coincidence. When Ratan was approached by a website regarding the issue, he stated: "No one has contacted me yet since the release of the number"<ref>{{cite news |last1=Mukherjee |first1=Shreya |title=Ratan Kahar reacts to Badshah's Genda Phool statement: No one has contacted me till now |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/music/ratan-kahar-reacts-to-badshah-s-genda-phool-statement-no-one-has-contacted-me-till-now/story-3ElpFJt6VNuaViz8hc8pgN.html |accessdate=3 April 2020 |work=[[Hindustan Times]] |date=2 April 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200402160653/https://www.hindustantimes.com/music/ratan-kahar-reacts-to-badshah-s-genda-phool-statement-no-one-has-contacted-me-till-now/story-3ElpFJt6VNuaViz8hc8pgN.html |archive-date=2 April 2020 |url-status=live }}</ref> Responding to the allegation, [[Payal Dev]] said that folk songs do not have rights and the same song had been "used six to seven times" without any credit.<ref>{{cite news |title=Genda Phool singer Payal Dev on copyright allegations: 'There are no rights to folk songs, they don't have proof' |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/music/genda-phool-singer-payal-dev-on-copyright-allegations-there-are-no-rights-to-folk-songs-they-don-t-have-proof/story-mXE97YWCIbhUGXJxs2RSoN.html |accessdate=3 April 2020 |work=[[Hindustan Times]] |date=2 April 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200402153723/https://www.hindustantimes.com/music/genda-phool-singer-payal-dev-on-copyright-allegations-there-are-no-rights-to-folk-songs-they-don-t-have-proof/story-mXE97YWCIbhUGXJxs2RSoN.html |archive-date=2 April 2020 |url-status=live }}</ref>

The rapper, on the other hand, came forward to help the folk lyricist on 'humanitarian backgrounds' by providing him with a financial aid of sum of Rs.5 lakhs and promised that would meet the veteran artist as soon as possible and would most probably collaborate with him as well.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Badshah: 'It was sad to see Ratan Kahar in situation that he is in right now'|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/music/badshah-it-was-sad-to-see-ratan-kahar-in-a-situation-that-he-is-in-right-now/story-MriHRRvBEOTN74qTHRXGFP.html|date=2020-04-13|website=Hindustan Times|language=en|access-date=2020-05-13}}</ref>
