For a few years now, the beef or the Diss culture has been popular in Indian hip-hop. After Raftaar vs. Emiway's dispute, the majority of the audience who follows the Indian rap scene must be aware of diss tracks. There is no doubt that the beef elevated Indian hip-hop to a new level.
When asked about the beef culture and the involvement of his family and other loved ones in this rap battle in an interview, Honey Singh said jokingly, "I am from Delhi and a Sikh, so I don't eat beef." He added, “Beef is Kaalo’s culture. It is their way where they indulge themselves in using abusive language. In our Delhi, if there is any kind of dispute, we would go to their home and break their head, rather than beefing. So, I don’t believe in beefing over a mike. If there is any issue with anyone, then I would just go to their home and break a bottle on their head. For me, this is actual beef”.
Honey Singh expressed his opinion, saying, “I believe abusing or cursing other’s family members in songs is wrong. Rather going to their home and breaking bottle over their head is the right way”.
Emiway Bantai is the beef rapper that is currently the most popular in India. He has frequently been in the news due to his beef battles. His beef battle with rappers Krsna and Raftaar attracted a lot of attention from the crowd. When Emiway released a diss single including a tape of Raftaar from an interview in which he said that Emiway would not be making money so early in his career since he was still an underground musician, the dispute with Raftaar began.
