In a candid interview, music artist Shiraz Uppal delved into his controversy with songstress Aima Baig, shedding light on his decision to address the lack of credit he received for his composing her hit song “Funkari.”

The controversy had arisen back in July when Shiraz Uppal publicly called out Aima Baig for failing to acknowledge his contributions during an interview with a local news outlet.

During the candid discussion on the talk show Bakamal, Uppal expressed his frustration with the prevalent trend of denying due credit to creators of hit songs and emphasized the importance of setting a precedent for newcomers in the film and music industry. He expressed,

People are experts in denying artists credit where it’s due. So, for these newcomers, at least, I wanted to set a precedent.

He emphasized the need to unlearn certain habits in the industry and highlighted his practice of ensuring proof of his involvement in projects.

Regarding the specific incident with Aima Baig, Uppal clarified, “The video bite she [Aima] gave, about that song, it was written by me, composed by me, and recorded by me.”

Shiraz pointed out that he asked Aima to review their chat to verify when they collaborated on the song. He also addressed Aima Baig’s claim that the late lyricist Shakeel Sohail co-wrote “Funkari,” stating that Sohail had passed away six months before the creation of the song.

Shiraz Uppal expressed his disappointment with Aima Baig’s insistence on Sohail’s involvement and stated, “And that annoyed me. Does she think I would do that to a friend? How can someone come out of the grave and write for you? I had to give an answer.”

The controversy initially saw Aima Baig sticking to her claim, but after facing online backlash and, presumably, realizing the accuracy of Shiraz Uppal’s assertions, she eventually credited Uppal for his role in the creation of “Funkari.”
