On Monday, July 4, Travis Scott had to pause his New York's Coney Island show after some fans attending the concert had climbed up on the metal truss structure. In videos from The Day Party event at The Coney Art Walls, three attendees were spotted climbing the truss, with one of the individuals indulging in dangerous stunts while upside-down on the structure.

During the performance of his song' Anecdote,' Scott stopped and urged fans to get down from the truss. Later, the music to the track was entirely cut-off as the rapper kept addressing the fans to deboard the structure and get back to the designated audience area.

This behavior from Scott comes after the rapper received many allegations of his lack of responsibility about the Astroworld Concert last year. At the 2021 Houston, Texas music festival, many alleged that Scott continued his performance as attendees were trampled in the event. The concert claimed the lives of ten audience members while injuring a legion of them.

In the video from the concert, at least three attendees can be seen getting up on the metal truss structure around the show's stage. One of the individuals who climbed on the structure reportedly had a Spider-Man costume on. The person was also upside down on the truss, which increased the safety risk.

Travis Scott was quick to stop his performance, unlike his alleged behavior in the controversial Astroworld concert eight months ago. In one of the captured footage from the Coney Island show, the 31-year-old Houston native urged his fans to "get down" from the structure in the middle of his performance.

One of the clips also showcases Travis Scott saying:

“Aye yo, my bro, my brother — just make sure you’re okay though, my brother. You hear me?”

He was also heard addressing the audience who climbed the truss and told them:

“If that s**t collapses, bro, it will be a bad vibe. We do not need that right now…We gotta get down, we gotta get down.”

In the video, he also asked the audience if they were okay. The Mamacita rapper asked them to give him a "hell yeah" if they were alright. Before the show resumed, Travis Scott urged the audience to step back two feet to provide them with space. The show continued again once all those who had climbed on the truss' scaffolding got down from the structure.


Internet reacts to Travis Scott's Coney Island concert incident

As the footage of the incident made it online, netizens mocked the situation and compared it to the Astroworld tragedy. Some even labeled the audience members who climbed the truss as 'crazy.'

Meanwhile, some stated that Scott learned from his alleged mistake during the Astroworld concert. In contrast, others questioned the attendees for not learning anything from the tragic 2021 concert of the rapper.
