‘I KICKED the script’: Asim Riaz clears the air on reports of being ‘KICKED OUT’ from Battleground

Asim Riaz, who rose to fame with Bigg Boss 13 and later ventured into the music and fitness scene, has once again found himself in the middle of controversy—this time, linked to his abrupt exit from the reality show Battleground. The rapper and fitness enthusiast reportedly walked out of the show after an intense clash with fellow panelists Rubina Dilaik and Abhishek Malhan.

While reports initially suggested that Asim was “kicked out” due to the fallout, the reality star has now offered his side of the story—on his own terms. Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Asim fired back at the claims and seemingly addressed the media buzz with a bold statement.

“Paid media ain’t got a spine, just a rate card. They print what they’re told, I move when I decide. Keep shouting ‘kicked out’ , I kicked the script and flipped the game. Next headline? Make it count,” he wrote on X.

His post follows a now-deleted cryptic upload from Saturday, in which he was seen flipping the middle finger at the camera with the word “SCRIPTED” captioned underneath..

For those who do not know, the alleged altercation reportedly occurred on April 17 during a shoot, when what began as a minor disagreement turned into a heated confrontation. According to sources, Rubina Dilaik attempted to mediate, but things quickly escalated, leading the involved parties to storm off to their vans, ultimately halting the shoot.

This isn’t the first time Asim has found himself clashing with reality show dynamics. Fans may recall his previous run-in during Khatron Ke Khiladi, where he was eliminated early amid reports of on-set issues and disagreements with the production team. At the time, rumors swirled around creative differences and conflicts with fellow contestants, although Asim refrained from speaking publicly in detail.
