Pakistani rapper Talha Anjum is once again making headlines for his on-stage outburst after a video from his recent performance at Expo Center Lahore went viral.

 

The clip shows the rapper calling out an audience member who allegedly threw a bottle at him during the show, and the situation quickly turned physical.

 

In the viral video, Talha is seen saying, “There was a brother here who threw a bottle on stage as if he was sending me his sister’s proposal. I have only one thing to say to him: if you have the courage, come closer to the stage and propose properly.”

 

 

He then pointed at the individual in the crowd and said, “He’s hiding at the back, come here, son.”

 

As the man approached the stage, a member of Talha’s security team grabbed him by the hair and pulled him away. 

 

He then emotionally addressed the audience, saying, “I swear to God, I’m not that kind of person. Now, put yourself in my shoes. I came here to perform for you… And if I’m disrespected, should I stay silent?”

 

The video has sparked a storm on social media, with users divided over Talha’s behaviour.

 

One user commented, “I support this behaviour; artists deserve respect.” Another called the moment “satisfying,” and added, “Why even go to his concert if you're just going to disrespect him?”

 

However, not everyone agreed. A critic wrote, “He’s an artist he should behave properly. This is why bottles get thrown at him.” Another added, “Every concert turns into this kind of drama. Talha bhai should learn to stay in control.”

 

Some also felt the incident reflected poorly on Pakistan’s concert culture. One user stated, “It’s not just about the artist; this kind of reaction sets a bad example.”

 

This isn’t the first time Talha Anjum has faced trouble during a live performance.

 

Previously, Talha made headlines after a similar confrontation at a concert in Islamabad. A fan had thrown water bottles at him during his performance, prompting Talha to stop mid-set and say: “Come on stage and throw that bottle at my face.”

 

Though clearly frustrated, he still performed one final track, saying the incident had “ruined his mood,” but he didn’t want to disappoint his real fans.
