Surprisingly, YouTube has taken down Chahat Fateh Ali Khan’s popular song “Bado Badi” because it violates copyright laws. There were claims that the song, which had over 28 million views, used the original track by famous singer Noor Jahan without permission.
Who is Chahat Fateh Ali Khan?
Kashif Rana is the real name of British Pakistani musician Chahat Fateh Ali Khan. He used to play first-class cricket. He became well-known on social media for the funny or catchy songs he sang. Khan has a big fan base, especially since his latest hit, “Bado Badi.” He says that he is a singer first and foremost.
The Rise and Fall of “Bado Badi”
When “Bado Badi” first came out, it became a huge hit in Pakistan and India. The song was popular on many social media sites, like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. People in both countries made short videos and reels with the song, which quickly helped it become popular.
The song did well at first, but only for a short time. There were rumors that “Bado Badi” was a remake of “Ankh Ladi Bado Badi,” a famous song by Noor Jahan from the 1973 movie Banarasi Thug. Noor Jahan, whose stage name is Malika-e-Tarannum, is a famous singer in Pakistani music, and people like her music.
Copyright Issues Lead to Removal
Khan made the copyright claims because he used Noor Jahan’s original song without permission. Because of this, YouTube decided to remove the video from its site. Several news outlets said that the song by Noor Jahan was taken down because it was being used without permission, which is against the law.
Public Reaction and Impact
Many people, both fans and critics, have different thoughts on the removal of “Bado Badi.” Many people were upset that the viral hit was taken down, but others agreed with the decision and stressed the importance of protecting intellectual property rights.
Khan is still involved in the music scene despite the controversy. The famous Qawwal Ustad Fateh Ali Khan sang “Jai Tu Akhian De Samnay Nai Rehna,” which he is now remaking. He also wants to make his movie debut, which should come out around Eid-ul-Adha on June 17.
The Importance of Copyright in Music
This event shows how important copyright is for protecting original artists’ rights and their work. Remakes and covers are common in the music business, but they must be authorized properly to ensure that the original artists are credited and paid for their work.
People who want to be artists or content creators should remember the importance of following copyright laws after the “Bado Badi” case. If you use someone else’s work without their permission, you could face serious legal consequences and have your content taken down from popular sites like YouTube.
Conclusion
The removal of Chahat Fateh Ali Khan’s “Bado Badi” from YouTube shows how important it is for people in the music business to follow copyright laws. Khan has many fans because of his funny and catchy style, but it is important to recognize and honor the work of original artists like Noor Jahan. It’s still unclear how Khan will handle the complicated worlds of copyright and intellectual property in the future as he continues to make and release new music.
