Sonu Nigam Apologises To Pakistani Singer Omer Nadeem After Latter Accuses Him Of Plagiarism
Sonu Nigam's latest song titled 'Sun Zara' has landed the singer into a major controversy.
Sonu Nigam's latest song titled 'Sun Zara' has landed the singer into a major controversy. Pakistani singer Omer Nadeem has claimed that the song is a copy of his track 'Aye Khuda', which was released in 2009. The Pakistani artist also took to X (formerly Twitter) to call out the makers for not even crediting him for the original composition. In the latest entertainment news, Sonu Nigam has asserted that he did not know about the singer's version of the song, and he also apologised to the Pakistani singer for unknowingly singing his song.
A week ago, Nadeem had shared clips of both 'Sun Zara' and 'Aye Khuda' on Instagram, and wrote, "ve reached a point in my life where I couldn’t care less about these things. But hey, if you’re going to do it, at least toss a little credit to the OG track. If you’re gonna pull this off, could’ve at least done it with some finesse. Huge fan of Sonu Nigam, but let’s be real, this is light years away from the real deal. #facts #omernadeem #sonunigam #tseries #aeykhuda #sunzara #krk #pakistan #india.”
Sonu Nigam reacted to Nadeem's post by apologising to him for unintentionally singing his song.
"Just so you all know, I have nothing to do with this. I was requested to do the song by KRK (Kamaal R Khan), who is my neighbour in Dubai. And then couldn’t refuse him, even though I don’t sing for everyone.”
In another comment, the singer added, “If I had heard Omer’s version, I would have never sung it," said Sonu Nigam.
“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," he added.
After Sonu Nigam left a comment on the original post, Nadeem mentioned that he never mentioned that Nigam is behind his plagiarism.
"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," he wrote.
“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 – pointless – and they wouldn’t get it anyway. I’d just keep the focus on things that actually matter. This coming from you means so much to me! There is no singer more melodious or versatile than you in the world right now. Immense respect," the Pakistani singer added.
