Pakistani singer Aima Baig has recently fired imitation accusations at Nehaal Naseem, also a Pakistan-based singer. In a recent podcast by Ahmed Ali butt, also known as “Excuse me with Ahmed Ali Butt” she claims “she literally like…totally copied me.” When she was requested to name overrated and underrated artists, Aima spoke plenty about how most women are underrated.
Here’s the entire podcast:
Nehaal Naseem’s career took off when an old cover went viral back in 2016. She was only 11 at the time she recorded the video and since then has debuted another cover named ‘Ijazat.’ But known best for her Coke Studio appearances, vocalist Aima Baig has stated that she sounds exactly like her.
When concluding the podcast, she began with “I like this girl very much, I count her success as mine because she copied me.” Fans have found this quite a surprising accusation coming from someone who herself has been accused of copying another singer’s style.
When netizens pointed fingers at her for copying superstar Ariana Grande, she claimed there’s nothing wrong with taking a little inspiration from other artists. Then how come you’re credible enough to call someone else’s success, your achievement? Aima tried her best to take the matter with a light heart and said, if it brings you joy and makes you laugh, then so be it. Sometimes I like Ariana’s style, sometimes Selena’s.
If Aima, herself, takes inspiration from people around her it seems only fair that others may too.
