Pakistani rapper Talha Anjum has once again dominated social media after a video from his Kathmandu performance sparked the Talha Anjum Indian flag controversy. The moment quickly ignited debate among Pakistani audiences online.
The Viral Moment at the Kathmandu Concert
During his live performance of the diss track Kaun Talha, originally aimed at Indian rapper Naezy from Gully Gang, a fan threw an Indian flag onto the stage.
Anjum picked up the flag, swung it confidently and then draped it across his shoulders.
Within minutes, the clip spread across social platforms. Many Pakistani users criticized the gesture, calling it insensitive in light of the recent four-day conflict following the Pahalgam terror attack and India’s subsequent Operation Sindoor.
The situation also comes at a time when Pakistani artists are banned on major Indian-linked platforms such as Spotify, Instagram, and YouTube.

Anjum Responds to the Backlash
Addressing the growing controversy, Talha Anjum posted a statement on X (formerly Twitter), saying:
“My heart has no place for hate. My art has no borders. If me raising an Indian flag sparks controversy, so be it. I’ll do it again… will never care about the media, the war-mongering governments and their propagandas. Urdu Rap is and will always be borderless.”
His response fueled more discussion online, with fans and critics debating whether his gesture was a message of peace or an unnecessary provocation.
Background of the Talha Anjum–Naezy Feud
The rivalry between Anjum and Naezy began in mid-2024 when Naezy casually remarked “Kaun Talha?” during a podcast while discussing potential collaborations with Pakistani artists.
Anjum immediately fired back with his diss track, asserting his dominance in the South Asian rap scene. Since then, the feud has gained attention across the region, making every move by the artists subject to scrutiny.
Conclusion: A Debate That Won’t End Soon
The Talha Anjum Indian flag controversy highlights how sensitive cross-border cultural expressions have become. Whether seen as a gesture of unity or a misstep, the moment has certainly left people talking.
