Ali Sethi held in question for using artist Ali Hyder’s digital artwork without permission

Accusations!

Ali Sethi is one singer from the current generation who is now globally recognised for his contribution to the revival of ghazal. Recently, it came as a shock when a digital artist, Ali Hyder, accused him of stealing his artwork for Spotify. Ali Hyder, previously a fan of Sethi, recently took to Twitter and shared that his artwork had been ‘stolen’ by the singer he looked up to. This disappointed many fans of Ali Sethi’s who called him out on Twitter. In July 2018, Hyder loved Ali Sethi’s music video Chan Kithan starring the singer’s sister, Mira Sethi. Hyder made a painting of one of her shots from the video and shared it on his account. Mira even liked the tweet and thanked him. But he recently found out that Ali Sethi used his painting as a cover art for Spotify without taking any permission or giving him credits. Even his name has been cropped out for the cover image. While replying to Twitter users, Hyder stated that, “I credited him when posting it. Spotify pays their artists and he has made no attempt to credit me.”
