“Free Samay Raina!”: Badshah extends support to stand-up comedian amid India’s Got Latent controversy

By -

What happened at rapper Badshah’s recent concert in Vadodara? He surprised the crowd by openly supporting comedian Samay Raina, who is currently facing legal trouble over a controversial episode of India’s Got Latent. During his performance at Parul University in Gujarat, Badshah wrapped up the show by shouting, “Free Samay Raina!”—a moment that quickly went viral on social media.

Samay Raina’s Ongoing Controversy The controversy stems from a recent India’s Got Latent episode featuring YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, who asked an inappropriate question to a contestant. The episode led to severe backlash against Samay Raina, resulting in an FIR being filed against him. He has been asked to appear in court by March 10. In response to the criticism, Raina took down all India’s Got Latent videos from his channel and stated, “My only objective was to make people laugh and have a good time. I will fully cooperate with all agencies.” Badshah’s Statement Sparks Online Reactions A video of Badshah’s shoutout has gained traction online, with fans reacting strongly. One user wrote, “Ain’t no way Badshah said ‘Free Samay Raina’ at the end of the concert! LFG!!” Another commented, “Not Badshah screaming ‘Free Samay Raina’ at his concert. He ain’t inside a jail, bruhh.”

Public Sentiment and Growing Support While many have criticized the controversial episode, others, including fans and fellow content creators, have defended Raina, stating that the show was intended as dark comedy. With Badshah now publicly acknowledging the issue, the conversation has reached a broader audience. The debate over censorship, comedy, and legal accountability continues to unfold, with many awaiting further developments in the case.
