Rapper Badshah trolled after he confesses buying fake YouTube views:
Over the last few months, Mumbai Police has been investigating the case of buying “fake followers and likes”. They have investigated at least 20 people, one of them being rapper Badshah. Earlier, the rapper denied the accusations, but now Badshah has admitted that he gave INR 72 lakh to get YouTube views to set a world record for the most views in 24 hours. The song is “Pagal Hai.”
Officials said that during questioning, Badshah confessed that he’d purchased around 7.2 crore views for INR 72 lakh, in order to set a world record for most YouTube views in the first 24 hours. He also had claimed that the music video for Pagal Hai had been watched 75 million times in the first day of its release, beating previous records set by Taylor Swift and the Korean boy band BTS. The claim was rejected by Google.
Badshah has denied the allegations. “Following the summons, I have spoken to the Mumbai Police. I have aided the officials in their investigation by cooperating and carrying out the due diligence on my part. I’ve categorically denied all the allegations leveled against me and made it clear that I was never involved in such practices, nor do I condone them,”
He said in a statement. “The investigation procedure is being executed in accordance with the law and I have complete faith in the authorities, who are handling this matter. I’d like to thank all those who have conveyed their concern to me. It means a lot to me.”
Badshah’s confession surely came as a heartbreak for his fans, Twitter attacked the singer with memes. Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia aka Badshah was questioned by the Crime Intelligence Unit of the Mumbai Police on Friday and Saturday.
