Popular Pakistani rapper and singer Talha Anjum has expressed strong disappointment over an incident that took place during his recent concert.

Talha Anjum is one of South Asia’s most popular rappers, with over 2.7 million followers on Instagram. He has a large fan base in Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh. He is known for his energetic stage presence and memorable live performances.

During a performance at Dream Fest, a fan threw a glass bottle at him while he was performing on stage. The incident shocked both the artist and his audience. Speaking about the event, Talha Anjum said he felt angry and saddened by the behavior of some fans. He remarked that he has been treated with respect in other countries, including Dhaka and Canada, where fans praised him and even showed him great reverence. Yet, in his own country, he faced such disrespect.

The rapper’s statement immediately sparked reactions on social media. Many fans condemned the person who threw the bottle. Some called the act foolish, while others said that artists deserve respect, and at the very least, the country should show its pride in its own talent. A few fans commented sarcastically, suggesting that throwing bottles at his concerts seems to have become an unfortunate tradition.

Fans also noted that such incidents are not only hurtful for the artist but also give a negative image of Pakistan internationally. They emphasized that respect and proper behavior are essential to support local talent and to encourage a positive environment at live events.

Following the incident, supporters and the rapper’s management have called for stricter safety measures at concerts. They urged event organizers and authorities to ensure the safety of performers and to promote respect for artists during public shows.

Talha Anjum continues to enjoy immense popularity in South Asia, but this recent incident has highlighted the challenges performers face even in their own country.
