Claims Nadia copied Zuchu

The controversy arose shortly after the singer began promoting the song, with several fans commenting on her posts and accusing her of sounding similar to Zuchu.
In a statement shared on her Instagram on Saturday, December 13, 2025, Nadia said she had taken note of the comparisons being made between her new song and other artistes’ music.

“Dear fans, I have noted the comparison of my brand-new song with numerous songs, and I want to make it clear that I have not copied or sampled anyone’s song,” she said.
