Bollywood Composer Addresses Allegations Of BLACKPINK Jennie Plagiarizing His Song
By [Your Name] – April 16, 2025
The world of music is no stranger to controversy, but when K-pop meets Bollywood in a plagiarism storm, fans around the globe pay attention.
This week, a well-known Bollywood composer has finally broken his silence regarding rumors that BLACKPINK’s Jennie plagiarized one of his hit songs. The controversy began after a clip of Jennie’s solo performance went viral, with fans noting uncanny similarities between her melody and a popular Bollywood track from the early 2000s.
Social media quickly lit up with side-by-side comparisons, hashtags like #JennieCopied and #JusticeForBollywood began trending, and fans on both sides launched into heated debates. While BLINKs (BLACKPINK fans) rushed to defend Jennie, many Bollywood music lovers demanded answers.
In an exclusive statement to The Times of India, the composer — whose identity is being kept confidential due to legal considerations — addressed the controversy:
“I have heard the song in question. Yes, there are similarities in the progression and vibe. Whether it’s intentional or not, I can’t say. Music travels, and sometimes influences are subconscious. But I do believe credit should be given where it’s due.”
He emphasized that he is not looking for conflict, but rather “respect for creative work.” As of now, no official legal action has been taken, though his team is “reviewing all possibilities.”
YG Entertainment, BLACKPINK’s agency, has not issued an official response yet, but fans expect a statement in the coming days if the issue escalates.
Jennie herself has remained silent on the matter, continuing her schedule as usual. However, the controversy has sparked larger conversations about musical influence, sampling, and originality in an increasingly globalized industry.
Some netizens are calling for a collaboration instead of confrontation:
“Imagine a BLACKPINK x Bollywood remix — now THAT would break the internet!” one fan posted on X (formerly Twitter).
Until then, the internet remains divided — and tuned in.
