Music label T-Series released the song titled Biba on Wednesday and shortly after the release, Pakistani musician Farasat Anees took to his social media and called out the music label for ‘copying his song’. Both versions of “Biba” are inspired by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s “Je Tu Akhiyaan De Samne Nahi Rehna”.
Farast shared an Instagram story and wrote, “So f**ked up of T-series for copying my track ‘Biba’. We coming your way, hang on tight.” On another story, he wrote, “I mean what else can we expect from a world famous label like T-Series. Such a disgrace.”
As support from his Indian listeners started to pour into the comments section of YouTube, Farasat thanked his Indian fans and wrote, “The love & respect our indians showed to our version of BIBA was massive. We will always be greatful for that. Also Supporting us on the comment section of this cheap copy of BIBA. Will always be thankful to listeners across the border! ♥️”
