Pakistani singer Shiraz Uppal has called out Aima Baig for her recently released song, Funkari, saying the song was written and composed by him.
Uppal’s reaction comes after Baig claimed that she had co-written the track with late singer Shakeel Sohail.
Uppal, in a note released on her Instagram stories, said, “Recent statement given by Aima Baig to Dawn Images about the fact that she and (late) Shakeel Sohail have written the song Funkari, has been misquoted by her. She forgot to give the due credit that was already mentioned by Universal Music India on her YouTube credits.”
Uppal added that Funkari was “written, composed, and produced” by him. As per Aima Baig Official’s YouTube page, Funkari is sung by Baig, and written and composed by Uppal.

“Get your facts right lady. Shakeel Sohail passed away 6 months prior to writing this song and the last he co-wrote with me was another single for you named “Faraq Farag”. So Funkari was written, composed and produced by me and you just came to sing it, which only took 3 hours,” he added.
Earlier in an interview with Dawn Images, Baig said that she and Shakeel Sohail started writing Funkari three years ago in Ramadan. It was Shakeel’s last song.
On July 12, Funkari was released. More than 5 lakh people have already viewed the lovely song.
The song’s creators claim that it reflects the “essence of longing and emptiness created due to a loved one changing their values.”
