“No Pakistani Links”: Badshah Issues Strong Clarification on Dallas Concert
Badshah distances himself from financial transactions, emphasises music as a bridge for unity and cultural exchange
New Delhi, August 18, 2025
Indian rapper Badshah has issued a clarification after the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) raised objections over the Dallas leg of his upcoming Unfinished Tour, scheduled for 19 September. FWICE had questioned the alleged involvement of a Pakistani company in sponsoring the event.
In response, Badshah and his team confirmed that the tour is being managed entirely by a US-based agency, Intense Entertainment, led by promoter Manish Sood. The team stated that Intense Entertainment is solely responsible for all aspects of the tour, including venue bookings, sponsorships, accommodations, and logistics. Badshah emphasised that he is not involved in any financial dealings beyond the terms of his performance contract and remains committed to using music as a medium for cultural exchange and unity, independent of geopolitical influences.
His legal counsel has already submitted a detailed clarification to FWICE, reaffirming his professional integrity. Intense Entertainment also addressed the concerns, clarifying that 3Sixty Shows, the firm assisting with marketing and on-ground logistics, is a US-based company owned and led by Chloe Jones. The company has previously collaborated with several Indian artists, and all arrangements for the tour have been made in compliance with local laws and industry practices.
The organisers further assured full transparency and cooperation with FWICE to address any concerns, underlining their commitment to maintaining the credibility and integrity of the event.
