Pritam defends BLACKPINK’s Jennie amid plagiarism controversy

While social media platforms buzzed with side-by-side comparisons, with some fans even accusing Jennie of plagiarism, Pritam Chakraborty has taken to social media, showcasing support his support towards the global artist.

Pritam defends BLACKPINK’s Jennie amid plagiarism controversy

On Instagram, music director Pritam Chakraborty has reacted to the ongoing plagiarism accusations against Jennie, by commenting that such coincidences can occur and that no one is deliberately copying in a series of notes. Taking to the platform, he posted, “Rani and Jennie are names that rhyme, so a similar flow in one phrase doesn’t make it a copy. In music, minor similarities are bound to happen—whether through rhymes, phrasing, or even within the same genre.” He continued defending her and added, “Instead of focusing on tiny details, it’s important to see the bigger picture. In today’s interconnected world, where artists share the same platforms, no one is deliberately trying to copy someone else’s work. Creating a song takes immense effort, and if an artist truly resonates with an idea, they can simply collaborate.”

“Music is about creativity, unique artistic perspective, influence, and sometimes pure coincidence—especially when artists exist on the same creative wavelength. Rather than tearing artists down, celebrating their work makes far more sense,” he shared in the concluding slide as he also wished her ‘good luck’ for the new album before signing off.

Alia Bhatt and Bollywood fans have called out Jennie fans by drawing parallels between the ‘Rani Theme’ and the rhythmic beats and repetitive chanting of ‘Jennie’ in the teaser of ‘Like Jennie’. Along with creating major outrage on social media, this incident has also ignited discussions about cultural exchange and intellectual property in the global music industry, highlighting the fine line between inspiration and imitation.
