When inviting Badshah on stage, Diljit Dosanjh remarked, “The person I’m about to introduce is a wonderful human being and a great soul. I’ve known him for 15 years; he’s a big artist and my brother. So, everyone, at London O2, my brother and I are performing together for the first time—please welcome Badboy Shah Badshah!”

Reflecting on the experience, Badshah said, “Performing with Diljit Dosanjh was an absolute joy. It was a deeply emotional moment for me. He’s my role model and big brother, someone I’ve always looked up to. I want to express so much, but what I can say is that life has come full circle for me. I performed my first show in London at the O2 in 2014, and now I’m excited to announce my own show at the O2 Arena in 2025.”

On Saturday morning, Badshah shared his excitement on social media about the impromptu reunion, expressing admiration for Dosanjh and hinting at his upcoming UK stadium tour next year.
