  "account": "In a recent episode of the YouTube roast show India's Got Latent, rapper Badshah appeared as a guest panelist and claimed that Honey Singh did not come up with his stage name. The feud between the two, which has been ongoing for 17 years, was reignited when Badshah's statement contradicted his previous interview where he had said Honey Singh suggested the name. In his old interview, Badshah had stated that Honey Singh encouraged him to switch from rapping in English to rapping in Hindi, as he found Hindi to be more local. Despite Badshah's recent claim, Honey Singh responded by posting an Instagram picture that juxtaposed the two statements and called Badshah \"my useless child.\" The longstanding feud between Badshah and Honey Singh continues to dominate headlines, with both sides being quick to attack each other's character and past actions.",
