Jake Gyllenhaal, Eminem and Miguel Gomez attend the New York premiere of 'Southpaw' for THE WRAP at AMC Loews Lincoln Square on July 20, 2015 in New York City.

This is Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia, 30, an Indian rapper professionally known as Badshah. If he had to choose between Eminem and the Backstreet Boys, he would choose the boyband whose members are Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, A. J. McLean, Brian Littrell and Howie D.


Badshah is aware that there are many people from around the world who are crazy about Eminem and his music. However, the Indian rapper has never been a big fan of the Detroit rapper.

“I know I might offend a lot of his fans but I just cannot listen to his music and I won’t shy away from saying that,” Hindustan Times quoted Badshah as saying of Eminem. The Indian rapper explained that he can never really relate to the lyrics of Eminem’s songs.

For Badshah, there was nothing really special about Eminem’s music and he is not really into that kind of music. However, the Indian rapper admitted that he likes to listen to the music of rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar as he finds it easier to relate to their songs because they talk about the same things he talks about in his songs.

When Badshah writes music, he said he wants to base it on his life, past experiences and heartbreaks. He admitted that he has been a big fan of the Backstreet Boys since he was a kid.

Badshah’s favorite song is “Get Down,” the third single released from the Backstreet Boys’ international self-titled album. The Indian rapper said the song that made him decide very early that he wanted to be a musician.

“Get Down” has a rap portion. Smooth T. of the group Fun Factory raps the first verse while McLean raps the second one.

Meanwhile, the Backstreet Boys’ Las Vegas residency show “Backstreet Boys: Larger Than Life” will start on March 1, 2017, at the Axis at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, Los Angeles Times reported. Watch the music video of their song “Get Down” here:
