Denial of Maryam Heydarzadeh’s Claim of Theft by Shadmehr and Mehsti: The Full Story

The Alleged Theft: A Financial Dispute?

As the controversy unfolds, it becomes clear that this case is likely a financial dispute. Many songwriters and lyricists in the music industry have experienced similar issues, where their work is credited but not fairly compensated. This raises questions about fairness and transparency in the industry, especially when it comes to royalties and payments for creative work.

Babazadeh’s Clarification

While Bahman Babazadeh has clarified that Maryam Heydarzadeh was credited for her contributions to Shadmehr Aghili and Mehsti’s album, he has not addressed the financial aspect of her complaint. In fact, this seems to be the primary point of contention, and without a resolution, the dispute may continue to cast a shadow over the album.

Maryam Heydarzadeh’s Artistic Legacy

Regardless of the outcome of this controversy, Maryam Heydarzadeh’s contributions to Persian music and poetry remain significant. She has released numerous collections of poetry, such as:

• “Provanat Khaham Mand” (1998)
• “Mahe Tamame Man” (1999)
• “Taqsir Man Nabood” (2000)
• “Man O Nadaram” (2001)
• “Namehayi Ke Pareh Kardam” (2001)

In addition to her poetry collections, Heydarzadeh has released albums of her spoken-word poetry, including:

• “Mesle Hichkas” (1998)
