Pakistan singer, Shiraz Uppal corrected popular pop star, Aima Baig, who recently claimed that her new song ‘Funkari’ was co-written by her and late lyricist Shakeel Sohail. Speaking to a local media outlet, Baig shared the hard work behind the new release and how long it took to complete the song.
It took us like almost three years to make this song because I was too scared to let a solo single out because, since the start of my career, I haven’t released a solo track on which I had worked by myself day and night. We started writing this song three years ago in Ramadan. It was Shakeel bhai’s (Shakeel Sohail) last song Funkari that he co-wrote with me. […] While we were writing the song, I was living a character.
Soon after her statement, singer Shiraz Uppal called out Baig for misquoting saying that it was solely written, composed, and produced by him. He shared his statement on Instagram stories and penned down,
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 Faraq. So Funkari was written, composed and produced by me and you just came to sing it that only took 3 hours
Here is the full statement below,
Earlier this week, Baig released a new song called Funkari which captures the essence of feelings of longing and emptiness. The soul-stirring song only captured the hearts of fans but was also trending on Twitter, showcasing its immense popularity and widespread acclaim.
On the work front, the singer’s recent singles include Pretty Face, Loota Re, Khawabon Mein, Ik Hook, Satrangi, and Washmallay among others.
