Following rescheduling a festival performance, Lil Baby sparked a ruckus. The rapper was supposed to headline Vancouver's Breakout Festival on Sunday, but he backed out at the last minute.
According to TMZ, fans reacted negatively to the cancellation by destroying areas of the PNE Amphitheater, which resembled a "war zone." During the violent demonstration, they set fire to tents and toppled food stalls and garbage cans. They also damaged TV displays, scattering shards of glass everywhere.
“We waited over an hour for him to show up, but he never showed up,” said one fan, while another described the chaotic scene. “Everyone started leaving but some people stayed back, obviously, and they started rioting and breaking all the tents and everything."
