What the fuck is wrong with them that they think this was acceptable? I'm glad they've been dropped from their upcoming tours.

I'm especially disappointed by the fans who fucking listened and attacked the guy, too.

Frankly, the banana guy has every right to sue their asses for encouraging violence against him and destroying his property.

Reminds me of a much worse incident, a clip I saw of a Travis Scott concert, he crowdsurfed and his shoe came off iin this kid's hand and he accused him of stealing it and tried to start a fuck him up, fuck him up! chant.

The crowd ignored scott and got the fan to safety in that case.

I’ve never heard his music but Travis Scott sounds like a piece of shit

Isn't he the one that encouraged the fans outside the stadium to hop the fences and sneak in which lead to several people getting trampled to death?

Was that the same one where he refused to stop the show while paramedics tried to get to the trampled people? Not sure if that was him or not, it was maybe a few years ago

Edit: apparently it was, per the other commenter next to you

Travis Scott played a set in which 8 people died. To be fair, Travis Scott wasn't the sole factor for the deaths. Management and the promoter share responsibility.
