In a Facebook post, Siddharth clarified that most of Zubeen Garg’s 38,000 recorded songs are contractually owned by music labels and production houses, not by him or Zubeen’s family. He explained that the singer often felt shortchanged, with companies earning huge profits while he received only modest payments. These details, Siddharth said, can be verified directly with the respective labels.

To secure rights to his newer work, Zubeen launched Zubeen Garg Music LLP in 2021, holding a 60% stake while Siddharth was a partner. The company has earned only small amounts so far, and all funds remain untouched. Siddharth assured fans that Zubeen’s royalties and earnings will be transferred to his wife Garima Garg and family.

The singer tragically died on September 19 in Singapore during the North East Festival. He was rescued from the sea but could not be saved despite intensive care.

Siddharth admitted feeling unsafe amid the ongoing investigation but vowed to protect Zubeen’s legacy and ensure his rightful earnings reach his loved ones. Fans across India continue to mourn the voice that defined Assamese music for decades.
