After enjoying a few limelight days, a nut seller who gained overnight fame from selling raw almonds is once again forced to live a life of destitution.
Bhaban Badiakar from India can neither sing his song nor get income from the song on social media because a firm took advantage of his lack of knowledge and bought the copyright of the song in exchange for a small amount of money.
It should be remembered that Bhaban Badiakar used to sell peanuts for his livelihood before he became famous. He use to attract customers by humming his song Kacha Badam. One day a customer made a video of his song and shared it on social media which gained him immense fame.
People liked the video of Bhaban’s song so much that it went viral not only in India but worldwide. Soon it became an internet sensation. Famous rap singer Badshah also recorded the song Kacha Badam with Bhaban Badiakar which became quite popular.
Unfortunately, the fame gained by Bhaban Badiakar did not last long and now he is once again in a state of utter destitution and is forced to cry for help. He is now earning only a few thousand rupees by doing menial jobs and is worried about the future of his family.
In an interview, Bhaban Badiakar said that after gaining fame, he had to leave his village because people always came to him for help and threatened him if refused. My income is very low and I have no idea how to survive.
Talking about the alleged fraud, Bhaban Badiakar said that a firm paid me only three lakh rupees to sign the papers and got the copyrights of my song.
