Grammy-nominated Lil Yachty’s performance at UBC’s Thunderbird Sports Centre was shut down shortly after it started Saturday, due to safety concerns.
A few songs in, the rapper asked the crowd to fill the mosh pit.
“You don’t come to a Lil Yachty show to (stay in) your seats,” he said in a video he posted to Instagram. “Come down here! Come over! Fill it up!”
At this point, the crowd rushed the stage. Multiple videos posted online show several audience members jumping over a security fence near the stage.
Videos then show security telling the crowd that everyone had to head back to their seats if they wanted the show to start back up.
When this did not happen, the venue put an end to the performance.
“They shut us down last night, Vancouver,” Lil Yachty posted to Instagram, along with a video of the incident.
