Amid the language row and increased push from the Karnataka government to speak in Kannada, rapper Badshah who performed at Yuva Dasa in Mysuru recently gave the audiences a surprise by speaking in their official language. Not just that, he also paid homage to later actor Puneeth Rajkumar and was seen getting emotional when his song Rajakumara played in the background. Will Diljit do the same during his Bengaluru concert?

Concluding his performance, Badshah said in Kannada, "I am not a superstar. I am not a singer. I am not a rapper. I am just a writer. I just write my feelings. I am one of you." Fans were ecstatic. "All the people of Mysuru showed immense love for #Badshah. He deserves it! He came and spoke in Kannada, gave complete entertainment, and he loves Mysuru too, which is why the crowd gathered to see Badshah," one of the users wrote. This Badshah spoke so well in Kannada and made the Mysuru crowd fall in love with just this performance! His Kannada was so clean than most of the Hindi speakers in Bengaluru who have been here for longer," said another user.

Will Diljit Dosanjh follow in Badshah's footsteps?
Ever since it was announced that Diljit Dosanjh would perform in Bengaluru as part of his Dil-Luminati tour on December 6, there was a flurry of jokes and memes on social media in his name. While some suggested that the Punjabi singer is learning Kannada, others said that his concert had been canceled after he refused to sing in the official language of the state.
Just heard that Diljit's banglore concert was cancelled by organisers because he refused to sing in kannada. Idk about you but this shit is crazy ?

This comes after it was revealed that the government of Karnataka has pushed for the increased use of the language in education and business amid reports emerging that Hindi speakers are facing harassment in Bengaluru. Social media users joked that Diljit Dosanjh should learn to speak the language too. Now, that Badshah has learned the language, will Diljit follow in his footsteps too?
