T-Series, India\u2019s \u201clargest\u201d record label that has come under fire multiple times over plagiarism accusations, recently dropped Sun Zara<\/em>, a track by Sonu Nigam, DJ Sherizwood, Nitish Chandra and Kamaal Rashid Khan (KRK). <\/span><\/span>The song became the talk of the town after Pakistani singer Omer Nadeem shared a video comparing it to his 2009 track, Aye Khuda<\/em>, requesting the makers to at least \u201ctoss a little credit\u201d to the original.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Following this, instead of doubling down on his mistake like most, Nigam, the renowned Indian singer, acknowledged the similarities between the two song and apologized to Nadeem. He held that he had \u201cnothing to do with this,\u201d and had he heard Aye Khuda<\/em>, he wouldn\u2019t have ever complied to KRK\u2019s request to sing Sun Zara<\/em>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Irrespective of Nigam\u2019s apology, KRK has now shared a disrespectful tweet, calling Nadeem a \u201cflop, frustrated\u201d singer who\u2019s \u201cdoing this drama\u201d for publicity. Needless to say, the producer is getting flak for his statement on X, with many internet users calling him out for lacking \u201cintegrity\u201d, especially after Nigam\u2019s graceful response. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span><\/span>I came to know that Pakistani Singer Omer Nadeem is accusing me <\/span><\/span>[of copying]<\/span><\/span> his song. This flop frustrated singer is doing this drama to get little publicity<\/span><\/span> b<\/span><\/span>ecause he knows well that today, nobody can copy even few seconds of any song, forget to copy full song<\/span><\/span>,\u201d reads KRK\u2019s tweet. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I came to know that Pakistani Singer Omer Nadeem is accusing me to copy his song. This flop frustrated singer is doing this drama to get little publicity. Because he knows well that today, nobody can copy even few seconds of any song, forget to copy full song.<\/p>\n

\u2014 KRK (@kamaalrkhan) December 17, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cAjkal bollywood chal hi copy paste pa raha hae. Ap ka liya ya knsa koi nai bat hae<\/em> (These days Bollywood is running on copy-paste. This should be nothing new for you),\u201d a user quipped. \u201cYou copied the song, there\u2019s literally no way for you to deny it. It\u2019s exactly the same and even Sonu Nigam has gracefully apologized for it. That\u2019s the difference between you and real artists \u2013 integrity,\u201d another held. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

While an Indian user consoled KRK by commenting, \u201cLet them bark, buddy,\u201d several came to Nadeem\u2019s defense. \u201cJust listen to the song that came 14 years earlier, @Pankaj41627, don’t be a blind follower but a rational one!\u201d a user urged. \u201cBecause of you [KRK], Sonu Nigam had to apologise. Please don\u2019t do this again,\u201d a fan requested. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAccept it KRK, you copied the song and give him credit,\u201d another insisted. \u201cYou are talking as if Bollywood has never copied Pakistani songs,\u201d one more reminded the actor. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When responding to Nadeem, Nigam had shared on X, “Just so you all know, I have nothing to do with this. I was requested to do the song by KRK, who is my neighbour in Dubai, and couldn’t refuse him, even though I don’t sing for everyone. If I had heard Omer’s version, I would have never sung it.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Nadeem, agreeing with the famed musician, commented on his tweet, “I agree with you, I never mentioned in my statement anywhere that you did this. The news took a different turn like it always does. I’ve grown up listening to your songs and have learned a lot from you. I am your huge fan. Love you!” <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He continued, “As far as the ‘actual characters’ involved in this drama are concerned, they’re not even on my radar. Mentioning them would be like giving a goldfish a lecture on quantum physics \u2013 pointless \u2013 and they wouldn’t get it anyway. I’d just keep the focus on things that actually matter.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The interaction didn’t stop there. Nigam, true to his name, stated further in Hindi, “You sang this better than I did. I apologise that I did not hear your song. I heard it now. What an exceptional song and you definitely sang it better than I did. Keep it up. More blessings to you. InshAllah, may you receive more honour due to this. Lots of love and prayers.” <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
