He said that according to him, most of the artists in the Indian Music Industry often do the same. The only difference is that they do not get caught. The Euphoria singer also added that everyone is now behind Badshah and accusing him of other things as well. However, the individuals who started this entire trend and are "sharks in the game" are still not under the radar because they are in a powerful position. Palash Sen's further added on Badshah's fake followers' scam saying that even though his friend is stuck in this controversy, he is not solely responsible for it.

Palash Sen then threw some light on the Chinese apps being banned in India. He said that whichever app one uses, often absorbs all the information about the user. Which means one can do the same to what Badshah did, as per Sen. Thus, blaming one individual for "fake followers scam" is incorrect as a plethora of people are doing the same thing since a while now, according to Sen. Palash Sen also mentioned about the people who professionally work like that. Basically all they do is comment, like, share and watch a video or a post, and get paid for it.

Lastly once again reiterating on the topic, Palash Sen said that it is unfair to blame one person for doing something that the entire Music Industry has been practicing for ages now. Coming to Badshah's scam, the Abhi Toh Party Shuru Huyi Hain singer paid a whopping Rs 72 lakhs purchasing fake millions of views on one of his official music videos. He did the same to set a record for the maximum views in 24 hours.

A per reports, Mumbai Police has questioned the Mercy singer about these allegations for over nine-hours. And, eventually, Badshah also co-operated with them. However, the DJ Wale Babu singer in his official statement has denied all such allegations of buying fake followers.
