After Making The World Dance To His Tune, 'Kacha Badam' Singer Bhuban Badyakar Gets Rs 3 Lakh From Music Label

Since the time Kacha Badam went viral and made people around the world dance to the song that Bhuban Badyakar, a peanut seller, created the song as a marketing tool, people have only been questioning if the popularity of the song will help him in any way. Should he get the royalty?

I have nothing against the influencers dancing to the tunes of Kacha Badam. But I only wish they endorsed Mr.Bhuban Badyakar and helped him get royalty for his own song. Imagine how his life would have changed with all those views which is rightfully his.

After much speculation, Godhulibela Music which saw an opportunity and created a remix version of the song which didn't bring anything to the original singer. Now, the music label has given Rs 3 lakhs to Bhuban Badyakar. But is the amount enough? Isn't it just a little more than peanuts?

As per a report on India Today, Rs 1.5 lakhs have already been paid as a downpayment to him, and the rest of the amount will be paid soon. The music label Godhulibela Music must have been earning lakhs of money, but what Bhuban Badyakar got is just three lakhs.

It is peanuts. They make in crores.

Despite all this, Bhuban Badyakar is still humble and feels overwhelmed with the love that he is receiving from across the world. In an earlier interview to Etimes, he said, "The best part is I am not just a peanut seller now. People see me as a musician and this is a proud moment for not just me but also for my village. I experienced so many things in the past few weeks. I must admit sometimes the attention is leaving me in awkward position. I am not used to this popularity. But I am happy and looking for a better future for my family with help of my music talent."

He was recently honoured by West Bengal Police for his Kacha Badam song.

"I feel privileged. Never thought that I'd reach here. God's grace. Never dreamt of this. I just made the song, never thought it'd be such highlighted," he was quoted as saying by India Today.
