Career highlights
Randhawa's previous copyright infringement case
Notably, it isn't Randhawa's first brush with copyright issues. In August 2024, Vikram Shapribhan Singh (professionally known as Vee) filed a lawsuit against him for copyright infringement, reported Hindustan Times. The conflict stemmed from Vee's collaboration with Randhawa in December 2016. Vee claimed Randhawa promised him financial compensation, proper credits, and a 50% share in publishing royalties but these were never formalized. He alleged he wasn't credited for tracks like the viral High Rated Gabru.
