Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, a British Pakistani singer known for his viral cringe songs, recently had his popular track "Bado Badi" taken down from YouTube. Despite the song surpassing Ali Zafar's hit in views, its removal has only slightly impacted Khan's net worth.
"Bado Badi," released on April 9, quickly went viral, amassing over 28 million views in two months. The song, however, was removed from YouTube on June 6 following objections from the team of Pakistani singer Noor Jehan. They claimed that the song's melody and composition copied Noor Jehan¡¯s performance from the 1973 film "Banarsi Thug."
