Sonu Nigam breaks silence on controversy over plagiarism accusations
Days after Pakistani singer Omer Nadeem accused Sonu Nigam of plagiarising his song, a controversy that unfolded on social media, the renowned Indian singer has broken his silence. The dispute began when fans pointed out striking similarities between Sonu Nigam’s latest release, “Sun Zara”, and a composition by Omer Nadeem from 2009 titled “Aye Khuda”.
Sonu Nigam took to Instagram to address the allegations, acknowledging the similarities and extending a heartfelt apology to Omer Nadeem. In his post, Nigam clarified that the resemblance between the two songs was unintentional and purely coincidental. He explained, “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. If I had heard Omer’s version, I would have never sung it.”
Omer Nadeem responded to Sonu’s post, emphasising that he never accused the Indian singer of intentional wrongdoing. He expressed admiration for Sonu Nigam’s work, stating, “I’ve grown up listening to your songs and have learned a lot from you. I am your huge fan. Love you!” Omer redirected the focus away from the individuals involved in the controversy and onto matters that truly matter.
