I was really looking forward to performing in your city, but due to a discrepancy between the local promoters and the production company, I was forced to cut short the set and stop the show midway."

He further called out the people behind the mismanagement and shared that promoters should be well-equipped for large-format shows and that this kind of nonchalance is unacceptable. "Promoters need to be better equipped, especially for large-format shows, and this kind of nonchalance is just unacceptable to most performing artists. It takes a considerable amount of energy and effort to put together a tour of considerable scale. This isn't fair to the fans who spend their hard-earned money to purchase that ticket, and it definitely isn't fair to the whole crew who pours their hearts into putting on these tours. We rehearse for weeks, plan for months, and travel tirelessly to bring you the best possible experience," Badshah added. "The music industry is all about respect - respect for the fans as much as it is about respect for the artists and the support crew," he continued.
Badshah further shared that his team tried their best to salvage the situation. He added, "We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, disappointment, and irritation caused due to this sheer lack of management from the promoter's end. We will make sure things are better managed in the future with a more competent promoter team that prioritizes a quality experience and understands that music and touring is a serious business."
He further promised the audience that he will come back soon and said, "I promise to return, and it's going to be bigger, better, and bolder! Thanks for always being there and having my back. Love you all, Badshah"
