In a recent social media exchange, rapper Badshah, known for his role as a judge on the popular talent show India’s Got Talent, took a jab at comedian Samay Raina’s show India’s Got Latent. The rapper’s critical remarks came in response to the latest episode of India’s Got Latent, in which comedian Naman Arora emerged as the winner.
Arora captivated the audience and jury with his witty jokes and sharp punchlines, securing his victory on the show. His performance was so impressive that Raina invited him to open his upcoming show in Mumbai on September 7. However, Badshah was less than impressed with the new talent showcase, expressing his dissatisfaction in a tweet on platform X. He wrote, “From India’s Got Talent to India’s Got Latent. The downfall is real.”
Badshah’s comment sparked immediate reactions from fans and followers online, with many criticizing the rapper for his harsh assessment. Fans of India’s Got Latent defended the show, praising its entertainment value and the unique talents it brings to the forefront. One user responded, “But Latent is way better,” while another shared a clip of Naman Arora’s winning moment, captioning it, “It’s entertaining.” A third user commented, “Not everyone sees it as a downfall.”
Despite the backlash, Badshah remains a prominent figure in the Indian music industry, known for hit tracks such as “Genda Phool,” “Paagal,” and “Paani Paani.” His recent work includes the song “Gore Gore Mukde Pe” from the film *Ishq Vishk Rebound*.
Samay Raina, meanwhile, continues to carve out his niche as a comedian, YouTuber, and chess enthusiast. Best known as the co-winner of Comicstaan 2, Raina has created a unique platform with India’s Got Latent, showcasing unexpected talents that leave viewers astonished and entertained.
