Pakistani rapper Talha Anjum sparked international controversy after waving India's tricolour at his Nepal concert, accepting the flag from a fan and draping it while performing. The 30-year-old Karachi native, co-founder of rap duo Young Stunners with 3 million Instagram followers, defended his actions on X, stating "My art has no borders" and pledging to repeat the gesture. He emphasized his expression was rooted in humanity, not politics, declaring "Urdu rap will always be borderless." The incident intensified existing tensions with Indian rapper Naezy, who previously dismissed Anjum's popularity and made threatening remarks. While some applauded the gesture as South Asian unity, Pakistani critics accused him of crossing a line and disrespecting his homeland.
