New Delhi, Oct 27 (ANI): Punjabi rapper Badshah, who has given club bangers like 'Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai' and 'Saturday Saturday' to Bollywood, said that he would have achieved stardom without any help from Bollywood.

The 'DJ Waley Babu' hit-maker gave an exclusive interview to ANI, where he said, "I am making same kind of music in Bollywood which I was making before I stepped into the glamorous industry and I will continue doing that , the only difference is that Bollywood has just taken my music to a wider audience."

"Bollywood is very strong financially, the term 'Bollywood' is a big name itself and the industry has been very kind and to me", he added.

The rapper also revealed that his upcoming album will go back to proper hip-hop music unlike commercial pop songs.

Badshah concluded that he is indeed the King of Desi Hip-Hop and his main aim is to kill the competition.
