Rapper Krishna Kaul popularly known by his stage name Krsna (KR$NA), has alleged that the IPL anthem 2020 Aayenge Hum Wapas has been plagiarised from his 2017 rap song Dekho Kaun Aaya Wapas. He shared this with his fans via Twitter on 10th September.
The claim has been dismissed by the IPL anthem composer Pranav Ajayrao Malpe as “completely false”. Krsna in his latest tweet slammed the decision of the Music Composers Association of India (MCAI), which has ruled that the two songs in question are different.
The rapper tweeted on Thursday morning saying, “I just got word that ‘Music Composer’s Association of India’ has suggested that plagiarisation of Hip Hop songs is permissible in their opinion because all hip hop songs sound the same. Shabaash! Tumhara khoon khoon, hamara khoon paani.”
He also included the hashtag #IPLanthemcopied to his tweet.

Pranav said, I would like to share with you a certificate from the Music Composer’s Association of India which is based on the findings of four well-known music composers who compared the two songs. The certificate clearly clarifies that there is no similarity between the two songs.”
Earlier this week, the rapper shared this incident when he came to know that his song has been plagiarized. He tweeted, “Hey guys, IPL has plagiarised my song Dekh Kaun Aaya Waapas and created Aayenge Hum Wapas as this year’s anthem without credit or consent. I request my fellow artists and friends on twitter to RT this tweet for awareness. They cannot get away with this.”
