Badshah Dallas Concert Controversy – Indian rapper Badshah is famous for hit numbers and big concerts worldwide. Next month, he’s set to perform in Dallas, USA, on September 19, 2025, at the Curtis Culwell Center. On paper, it should be another night of music and fun. But this show has suddenly come under the spotlight—not because of Badshah’s performance, but because of questions around who’s running and funding the event.
Badshah Dallas Concert Controversy
News broke this week that Badshah’s “Un-Finished Tour” concert in Dallas might be organized by a company called 3Sixty Shows, owned and operated by Pakistani nationals. This raised eyebrows in India because, in recent years, artists have been told not to work with any Pakistani businesses or organizers as a matter of national sentiment and security.
Several news outlets report that not only is this company Pakistani, but that there’s a possibility of Pakistani money or involvement in the event’s setup and promotions.
FWICE Steps In—What Is FWICE?
The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) is a huge film and entertainment industry association in India. When they heard about the Dallas event, they acted quickly. This week, FWICE sent a formal letter to Badshah. Here’s what they said—simply:
- FWICE noticed Badshah is doing a Dallas show, sponsored by a Pakistani-owned company.
- They reminded him of Indian government advice: Don’t work with anyone connected to Pakistan, especially with continuing issues like terrorism and fights between the countries.
- FWICE pointed out the recent Pahalgam terror attack and said artists need to stand firm against such violence, not support organizations linked to those places.
- The body asked Badshah to reply quickly, explaining his involvement and his understanding of the organizer’s background.
In short, FWICE wants Badshah to clear things up—fast.
Who’s Organizing the Concert?
Based on public information, the Dallas show’s main organizer is a company named 3Sixty Shows, which news reports and FWICE claim is run by Pakistani nationals. Even though tickets are being sold on platforms like Eventbrite and through the Curtis Culwell Center, the promoter’s identity plays a big part in this situation.
FWICE’s letter says the sponsorship and company management are the central issues, and they need to make sure Indian artists don’t unknowingly join events where Pakistani connections are hidden behind overseas operations.
Did Pakistan Actually Fund the Show?
So far, there’s no direct official confirmation that funds from the Pakistani government are involved. The claims center on the concert promoter’s national ties (Pakistan) and indirect involvement—rather than a straight “Pakistan gave money for Badshah’s show.” Still, FWICE and others see any collaboration as risky and want answers before the concert happens.
What Has Badshah Said?
Up to now, Badshah hasn’t released a public explanation about this concert and its organizers. FWICE’s letter asks for his immediate reply. Considering how public this dispute is, fans are waiting for Badshah’s side of the story.
What Could Happen Next?
If Badshah clears up the situation and the organizers are found to be unrelated to official Pakistani bodies or controversial sponsors, the concert might go ahead as planned. If not, Badshah may choose to back out, or FWICE could recommend action according to their rules.
This isn’t the first time such a controversy hit Indian artists. Just days ago, actor Kartik Aaryan faced similar questions from FWICE and clarified he wasn’t involved in a Pakistani-sponsored event in Houston.
