Singer-rapper Badshah recently issued an apology, on his Instagram handle, after netizens criticised him for the lyrics of his song Sanak. Reportedly, a priest from Ujjain's Mahakaleshwar Temple raised an objection against Badshah for using Lord Shiva's name (Bholenath) along with some obscene lyrics in the song. The priest named Mahesh also requested the singer to remove God's name from Sanak and apologise for hurting religious sentiments.

Taking to his Instagram, Badshah wrote, "It has been brought to my attention that one of my recent releases, Sanak, sadly seems to have hurt the sentiments of some people. I would never willingly or unknowingly cause offence to anyone's sentiments. I bring my artistic creations and musical compositions to you, my fans, with the utmost sincerity and passion."
