The line "Ab yeh karke dikhao" from his song "Swag Mera Desi", which was already used in Yo Yo Honey Singh's song named "Party With The Bhoothnath", became a centre of controversy between the two rappers.[1] Rumours were spread that the whole song was a criticism of Yo Yo Honey Singh however Raftaar denied them.[2] He didn't gain any recognition when he was a part of group Mafia Mundeer.
