Pakistani singer Bilal Saeed has faced a backlash from fans and critics after he threw his microphone into the crowd during a concert at a university event. The incident, which was captured on video and went viral on social media, showed Saeed abruptly ending his performance of his hit song Ku Ku and hurling the mic with full force before walking off the stage.
Many fans were shocked and disappointed by Saeed’s behavior, while some compared him to American rapper Cardi B, who had also thrown her mic at a fan in the past. Some users also expressed concern over Saeed’s anger issues and suggested that he should stay away from the public.
Saeed, who is known for songs like Hogai Ghalti and Adhi Adhi Raat, broke his silence on the matter and issued an apology on his Instagram story. He wrote that the stage was his whole world and he felt the most alive while performing for his fans. He said that he forgot his sickness, stress and worries when he was on stage and nothing should have come in the way of him and the respect that his stage deserved from him.
He admitted that it was not the first time someone was misbehaving in the crowd, but it was definitely the first time he gave the wrong reaction. He said that he should have never left the stage and concluded his post with the hashtag #TheShowMustGoOn.
Saeed’s apology was met with mixed reactions from his fans, some of whom appreciated his honesty and humility, while others felt that he should have addressed the issue sooner and more directly. Some fans also hoped that he would learn from his mistake and not repeat it in the future.
