It gives me honour and pleasure to be collaborating with these stars and bring Que Calor to India. J Balvin is a rockstar whom I really look up to and I think El Alfa has done an extraordinary job. Major Lazer are dance music legends, I have worked with them in the past and I truly believe they have a major role in shaping the current global sound. “It is a huge pleasure for me to be on the Que Calor India Remix.

Que Calor, which was released in September, also features Dominican rapper El Alfa. The quality of remakes has gone down.” Badshah added that from now on, he will not take up any more remakes.Īlso read: Amitabh Bachchan says he must retire: ‘Head is thinking something else, fingers another, it’s a message’īadshah has now collaborated with Mi Gente hitmaker J Balvin and American electronic dance music group Major Lazer for official remix of Que Calor. But there are so many remakes, which I do not understand why they are being made. In my opinion, it is better than the original. “My favourite remake would be ‘Aankh Maarey’. He added that the remake of Aankh Maare for Simmba was better than the original. But then I clarified that we had the official rights and that is why we remade it,” he said. For corporate companies it is just a product, for us artist it’s a baby, it is our creation. Whoever has the rights can do anything with the song. But I know how things work I know how the industry works. My song Wakhra Swag was remade without my knowledge. I was under the perception that everything (the rights) has been taken care of.

But I, as a musician would never touch a song. Dr Zeus who is the original maker of ‘Don’t Be Shy’ was pissed. And thank god I got this platform to clarify. “We made a song called Don’t Be Shy in Bala. Talking to Bollywood Hungama, Badshah said he has immense respect with Dr Zeus and even apologised to him.

After the debacle with Dr Zeus over remaking Bala song Don’t Be Shy, he said he was done with the repurposing other artists’ songs. Singer and rapper Badshah has made it clear that will no longer be producing any new song remakes.
