Taking to Instagram, the singer said he does not usually post justifications but felt compelled to clarify the situation before “misinformation spreads further.”
Asim explained that the individual he confronted in the clip, widely assumed to be a fan, was actually a member of the security team.
“In the video where I am apparently addressing a ‘fan,’ it is not a fan. The person was a bouncer, part of the security team,” he wrote.
According to him Asim, the security staffer was allegedly pushing members of the crowd, including girls and children, during the show.
Before he could address the matter privately, the individual reportedly jumped onto the stage and began shouting, identifying himself as a bouncer.
The singer admitted he became ‘triggered’ in the moment but emphasized that he always feels responsible for addressing behaviour he believes is inappropriate at his concerts.
“If you have ever come to a show of mine, you know how much I respect and care for everybody who comes to see me,” he added, noting that he has previously stopped songs mid-performance if he noticed something wrong happening in the crowd.
Asim also apologised if anyone felt offended by his reaction but reiterated that the confrontation was not directed at a fan. “I just want all my fans to feel safe, heard, and seen by me and my team when they attend a show,” he said.
The viral clip sparked mixed reactions online. Some social media users criticised Asim’s tone, while others defended him, noting that artists have a responsibility to ensure crowd safety.
In addition to the concert incident, Asim Azhar has been in the limelight for other reasons.
His song Meri Zindagi Hai Tu has been gaining immense popularity and is the official soundtrack of Hania Aamir’s hit drama, which has also found a following in India.
Furthermore, the singer has been in the news due to rumours surrounding his alleged ties with actress Hania Aamir, keeping fans and the media intrigued.
