Recently, a video of Talha Anjum’s concert in Nepal went viral on social media, which drew strong reactions from Pakistani users. Many users saw the rapper’s action in a political context, while some fans called it an act beyond the boundaries of art and culture.
Talha Anjum has now responded to the viral video, saying in his statement that his intention was not to support or oppose any political narrative, but rather that he believes in unity that transcends borders through art.
