9th May 2013 saw the release of Imran Khan‘s new single Satisfya. The resulting events could not have been predicted. Quickly Social Media went crazy with #satisfya even appearing as a trend for Twitter UK for a short period. Facebook timelines were flooded with statuses about the single. The track quickly entered the iTunes UK Pop Chart, and peaked at number 13! Even our site Chakdey.com saw unprecedented levels of traffic.
Many tweets went out about the single, which were individual opinions, and quite a few compared Imran Khan to Roach Killa.
So my conclusion is that Satisfya sounds like Roach Killa remixed Sama Blakes – Sniper, meh I still like it, my type of music.

I thought Satisfya was a Hindi word, ngl this song has a Roach Killa sort of vibe to it

Imran Khans new track has a similar flow to Roach Killa's flow, well I guess that's what you get when you take ages to release a track.

It is true Roach Killa did not say anything negative or positive about Satisfya, he merely retweeted a fans opinion, which compared them, but was still positive about the track.
So my conclusion is that Satisfya sounds like Roach Killa remixed Sama Blakes – Sniper, meh I still like it, my type of music.
This opinion started a whole influx of tweets, which Roach Killa also retweeted as you can see from the selection above.
Dj Kamran, Imran Khan‘s promoter in USA then joined the conversation, and inflamed it a little bit more.
Fans need 2 realize @roachkilla1 jus trying 2 gain popularity by comparing himself 2 @Imrankhanworld #mediastunt #aintnobodygottime4dat
— dj kamran (@DJKAMRAN) May 12, 2013

— dj kamran (@DJKAMRAN) May 12, 2013
It ended amicably between Dj Kamran and Roach Killa, and then someone actually spoke some sense about the matter.

@AdeelaBonafide @Imrankhanworld Very well Said…

All in all it was great PR for Imran Khan, and kept people talking about Satisfya, much like the “I don’t know who Honey Singh is” statement made by Imran Khan during an interview with Dubai One TV.
Whether any of this was intentional or not it makes for great PR. The longer people are talking about Satisfya the more people will be exposed to it, and potentially purchase it from iTunes or other digital outlets.
