Rapper Badshah issues apology for using Lord Shiva's name in his track 'Sanak'; will change some parts

Indian rapper and singer Badshah has issued an apology for hurting the sentiments of some people with the release of his latest track "Sanak." The song came under fire for using Lord Shiva's name along with other obscene words in the lyrics. A senior priest from Ujjain's Mahakaleshwar Temple had raised objections to the song and criticized Badshah, demanding that he remove the name of the god from the song and apologize. The priest also threatened to file an FIR against the rapper. In response, Badshah took to Instagram to issue an apology, assuring fans that he had already taken proactive measures to change some parts of the song and would never knowingly or unknowingly cause offense to anyone's sentiments. The replacement process for the new version of the song will take a few days before it reflects on all platforms.
