‘Keep quiet, free those and watch out parents...': Badshah gets roasted over supporting Samay Raina

Rapper Badshah's backing of comedian Samay Raina at his latest concert has not gone down well with netizens. Many have been trolling him on social media for shouting "Free Samay Raina" at the end of his concert in Gujarat. Raina ran into trouble after YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia's remarks about parents and sex on the comic's now-deleted web show "India's Got Latent" led to a massive uproar both online and offline, with many police complaints filed against the two and those involved with the show.

During a recent performance at a university in Vadodara, Gujarat, Badshah voiced his support for Raina by shouting "Free Samay Raina" at the end of his concert, prompting cheers from the spectators. The video went viral on social media, with a section of netizens criticizing the rapper, who appeared as a guest on one of the episodes of "India's Got Latent," for his stance.

"I won't watch badshah's concert EVER, even if i asked to watch it for free," wrote one.  "Keep quiet," another user commented. "Free those...and watch out parents sex, India is supporting... cheap individuals," said another. "He told today also at KIIT university hats off to the man," wrote another. Another comment read, "Owwww cooolll."

Then there were those on Reddit who asked: "Free Samay Raina? When was he arrested?" Badshah has also collaborated with Raina on the music video "BAAWE" alongside Raftaar. Mumbai police are unable to trace Allahbadia as his phone remains switched off, while they have given Raina until March 10 to appear before them in a probe into the former's controversial remarks on his YouTube show, an official said on Saturday.
