Rapper-singer Badshah performed at the Bollywood Night organised as part of the formal closing ceremony of the Gorakhpur Mahotsav. Before his performance, the rapper met the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh
on Tuesday, January 13. A day after meeting CM Yogi Adityanath, Badshah took to his social media and shared pictures from their interaction.
While sharing multiple photos on his social media, Badshah wrote, “Aaj Yogi Adityanath ji se milkar ek ajeeb-si shanti mehsoos hui. Chehre par ek alag hi roshni hai, woh tejas jo shabdon se nahi, balki andar ki sthirata se aata hai. Behad shaant, behad sahaj… Jaanwaron ke liye pyaar, insaanon ke liye karuna, aur zindagi ka ek hi uddeshya, apne desh ki seva, apne dharm ki raksha, aur apne logon ke liye samarpan. (Today, meeting Yogi Adityanath ji felt strangely peaceful. There is a unique glow on his face, a radiance that comes not from words but from inner calm. Extremely calm, extremely natural… love for animals, compassion for humans, and a single purpose in life: serving his country, protecting his faith, and dedicating himself to his people.)”

“Jo log unhe door se dekhte hain, woh bahut kuch nahi dekh paate. Paas se dekhne par samajh aata hai, unki sabse badi taaqat satta nahi, balki samvedna hai (Those who see him from a distance don’t notice much. It is only when you see him up close that you realize his greatest strength is not power, but compassion),” he continued.
Badshah has given some of the most loved and trending songs to the Indian music industry. Some of his biggest hits, including Kala Chashma, Genda Phool, DJ Waley Babu, Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai, and Paani Paani, have redefined India’s contemporary pop and hip-hop scene. Known for infectious hooks and signature swagger, Badshah has firmly established himself as a defining voice in mainstream Indian music.
Within India, Badshah now stands among the most-streamed artists, alongside legends like Arijit Singh, Karan Aujla, and the late Sidhu Moosewala. Each of these artists has not only dominated their respective genres but also extended the global footprint of Indian music, bringing local sounds to international audiences.
