Khanzaadi aka Firoza Khan has gained a unique identity after her stint on Bigg Boss 17. Though the rapper is now getting multiple opportunities in her career, it was really tough for her initially. 

She had to face various hurdles in her journey of achieving fame. During an Instagram live session with Rapper Bohemia recently, Khanzaadi recalled a disheartening conversation with Badshah where he allegedly suggested she should leave the hip hop genre. 

Badshah’s discouraging comment left Khanzaadi demotivated

Recounting her time on the show MTV Hustle 2.0 where Badshah was the judge, Khanzaadi said that the singer advised her to steer clear of the hip hop genre. Badshah’s sharp critique left the budding artist questioning her worthiness in the industry. She went on to lock herself in a room and worked upon her capabilities.  

The Bigg Boss 17 sensation stated, “Though Badshah complimented me as beautiful, he also told me to leave the hip hop genre. He told me that I should try my hand at Pop music. It felt like I did not deserve at the moment, at least they could’ve motivated me to pursue this path. I could’ve learned it in three months, six months, or a year. After that, I locked myself inside my room and started writing songs. Every day, I used to wake up and listen to music. Now, I have written a total of 15 songs.”
