American rapper T Pain plagiarises ‘Aashiqui 2’s song; Twitterati troll him mercilessly

Bollywood films are known for their music and it plays a very important role in a film’s success. ‘Aashiqui 2’s song ‘Tum Hi Ho’ was one such song that became an overnight hit. Now, American rapper T Pain has been accused of plagiarism by filmmaker Mohit Suri and musician Mithoon for plagiarism the song ‘Tum Hi Ho’ from ‘Aashiqui 2’ in his latest single ‘That’s Yo Money’.

Mohit Suri took to Twitter and was rather unpleased with the act of T Pain.

Dunno why but this seems familiar ??? #aashiqui2 #tumhiho @TPAIN https://t.co/69NJvAujsT . It’s a melody from Mithun’s song buddy @Mithoon11 @raiisonai @itsBhushanKumar

Singer of the hit number Mithoon was also not amused with the act of the American rapper and made his displeasure clear.

Sir, the melody that you have used in your new song is my original work for a previously released Hindi film..The Label is looking into this.#tumhiho #Aashiqui2 https://t.co/5fnDf4sfg7

And as always, Twitterati came out all guns blazing and slammed the rapper for his alleged act of plagiarism.

Sir, the instrumental is simply a copy of #TumHiHo

‘Aashiqui 2’ had starred Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor in lead roles. So, it looks like we have not heard last of this controversy and upcoming days will be pretty interesting regarding this row.
