Plagiarism controversies

In India, there was plagiarism controversy when several Indian musicians plagiarized "Didi" and produced unauthorized cover versions in local Indian languages. A popular version was the Hindi song "Ladki Ladki" in the Bollywood movie Shreemaan Aashique (1993), arranged by Nadeem-Shravan and sung by Sudesh Bhosle and Vinod Rathod.[7]

On April 3, 2015, Khaled was charged for plagiarism of Didi, from Angui ou Selmi, an Algerian rai musical composition recorded by Cheb Rabah (born Rabah Zerradine) in 1988.[10][11][12] Cheb Rabah was also compensated by Cheb Mami for plagiarizing his texts.[13] But on May 13, 2016, Court of Cassation removed the charges against Khaled, when a 1982 audio tape with the song was shown. This tape was recorded by Khaled and given to a producer located in Oran, 6 years before Cheb Rabah's record. In the end, Rabah had to compensate Khaled for the fees during this case.[14]
