She argued that artists with massive platforms and influence over the youth should be more responsible with their art. According to Sona, the trend of using derogatory terms and objectifying women just for the sake of &#8220;viral hits&#8221; and &#8220;views&#8221; is damaging the musical fabric of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s high time we demand quality over trashy commercial success,&#8221; Sona remarked, highlighting that popularity shouldn&#8217;t be an excuse for mediocre or offensive content. While Badshah has maintained silence on the matter so far, his massive fan base has jumped to his defense. On the other hand, many netizens have rallied behind Sona, agreeing that the standard of lyrics in mainstream Indian rap has seen a significant decline. This clash has once again brought the debate over &#8220;artistic freedom vs. social responsibility&#8221; to the forefront of Bollywood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singer Sona Mohapatra, known for her unapologetic and bold opinions, has once again sparked a conversation in the Indian music industry.
