Controversy

An up-and-coming artist from Umerkot, Nirmala Maghani, accused Xulfi of plagiarism in melody of "Tu Jhoom" without crediting her, from a sample which she sent him as an audition in June 2021 and he had not replied. On the other hand, Xulfi and Coke Studio denied, claiming the song was in making since May 2021. However, seniors like Yousuf Salahuddin, Salman Ahmad and musician Beena Raza came in to support Maghani, who said she would take this matter to court. On 24 January 2022, her lawyer, Faraz Faheem Siddiqui, sent a legal notice to Xulfi to give her credit, otherwise a suit of will be charged.
