Sonu Nigam offers apologies after Omer Nadeem's claims of plagiarism

Sonu Nigam has apologised after his latest song ‘Sun Zara’ that released on December 2, landed him into a controversy. Pakistani singer Omer Nadeem claimed that the song is a copy of his song, “Aye Khuda”, which was released in 2009.

Nadeem took to social media ‘Sun Zara’ and ‘Aye Khuda’ on Instagram and wrote “I’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.”

Nigam reacted to Nadeem’s post and wrote, “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.”

The singer also appreciated Nadeem’s creation and his singing ability as he wrote, “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.”

When Nadeem read Nigam’s reaction, he wrote, “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!”

Nadeem further added that the ones who are responsible for this will never accept or understand what wrong did they do. He wrote “As far as the ‘actual characters’ involved in this drama are concerned, they’re not even on my radar.”
