Karachi (TheCOWNews Digital) Pakistani rapper Talha Anjum has stirred controversy after a dramatic altercation with a fan during a recent live concert. A video of the incident has gone viral on social media, sparking intense debate over the artist’s actions and event security protocols.
The footage shows Anjum performing on stage when he suddenly stops and points toward a section of the crowd. Moments later, a man from the audience is forcefully pulled toward the stage by security personnel and an associate of the rapper. In a shocking turn, Talha Anjum grabs the man by the hair and drags him onto the stage.
According to eyewitnesses and circulating reports, the altercation began when someone in the crowd threw a bottle toward the stage, allegedly targeting Anjum. It is believed that the individual pulled onstage was the culprit behind the act.
The scene escalated quickly, with Anjum and his team physically confronting the alleged offender before backstage security intervened and escorted the man away from the public eye. No injuries were reported, but the moment has left a lasting impression both on attendees and the online audience.
The viral video has garnered millions of views within hours of being shared and has ignited heated discussions across social media platforms. Many users have condemned Anjum’s response, labeling it “violent” and “unprofessional,” arguing that celebrities should show restraint in public settings regardless of provocation.
Conversely, a considerable number of fans and commentators have defended the rapper’s actions, calling it a “natural reaction” to an unprovoked and potentially dangerous act. “Artists are human too. Throwing objects at performers is reckless and disrespectful,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
As of now, Talha Anjum and his management team have not released any official statement regarding the incident. However, the event has raised serious concerns about crowd control and artist security at public performances, prompting many to call for stricter measures in future concerts.
The incident highlights the increasing challenges faced by public performers, particularly in high-energy environments like live music shows, where one disruptive act can spiral into chaos.
Whether Talha Anjum will address the controversy or issue an apology remains to be seen. Until then, the debate continues online, with strong opinions on both sides.
