Rapper Badshah is facing legal heat as the Punjab Police registered an FIR following a complaint that his new track, Velvet Flow, includes allegedly offensive content related to Christianity.

As per a report in PTI, rapper Badshah has landed in legal trouble after a complaint was filed against his recent track, Velvet Flow. He allegedly hurt Christian beliefs. The report further stated that Emanual Masih, speaking on behalf of the Global Christian Action Committee, took issue with the usage of words like ‘church’ and ‘Bible’ in the song. According to them, they were presented in an offensive context.

Based on the complaint, police in Batala, located in Punjab’s Gurdaspur district, registered an FIR at Qila Lal Singh police station under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
