Now, Pritam has shared a post defending K-pop artists. He stated, “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. 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 coincidenceespecially when artists exist on the same creative wavelength. Rather than tearing artists down, celebrating their work makes far more sense. Wishing Jennie all the best for her new album (sic),” he concluded.
