Rapper-singer Badshah has been embroiled in controversy over his Haryanvi track Tateeree, which led to massive backlash for its allegedly vulgar lyrics, offensive language, gestures, and visuals showing girls in school uniforms. The Haryana State Commission for Women had issued a summons to the singer, asking him to appear before the commission in Panipat by 3 pm on Friday, however he skipped the summons.
