‘I’m the SRK of music but my anger is like Salman Khan’: Amaal Mallik calls out trolls
Amaal Mallik said that if he is not given due credit for his compositions, he will hold a press conference and call out all the malpractices being done within the music industry.
Singer and music composer Amaal Mallik is often seen at loggerheads with the music industry for quite some time now. Over the last few days, Amaal has been fighting on social media to get due credit for his songs. On Wednesday, Amaal warned his business associates on X that if he doesn’t get due credit, he will hold a press conference against the entire system. In another tweet, Amaal also warned social media platforms to not target his family.
The controversy began after Amaal called out the social media handles of Salman Khan Films for reposting his song ‘Main Hoon Hero Tera’ without crediting him and the lyric writer Kumaar.
‘Will hold a press conference against this entire system’
Taking to X, Amaal Mallik wrote, “My business associates in the music industry, Music Labels & Senior/Junior A&Rs, Song Fixers (Sync), Actors (Old & New), Production Houses & Individual Producers/Directors, if by the end of this year I don’t see my name in the primary artist credits of all my songs, along with my lyric writers – I will hold a press conference against this entire system and take names like never before. PR & Social Pages, Fiction/Non-Fiction Channels, Reality Shows that use my music, Radio Stations, News Channels – Don’t mistake my silence for acceptance. I know exactly who does what, where, when & why. Because once I start speaking, I’m not stopping halfway.”
